Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chicken Chili

One thing that we grow a lot of year after year, without fail are sweet potatoes. For this reason, I love using them anyway that I can and finding new ways to sneak them into meals.

This Sweet Potato Chili combines the ease of the Instant Pot with the health benefits of vegetables to get a quick, easy and good for you meal that is sure to please everyone in the house.

I’ve said it over and over and I’ll say it again, the Instant Pot and Crockpot have saved me time and time again. As a busy homeschooling mom of four, it can be a little bit tricky getting dinner on the table every night, but taking advantage of these two appliances helps me tremendously.

    This recipe sounds delicious! I am wondering why there is only 1/4 tsp of tomato paste. Is this the right amount?
