Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 large poblano peppers, diced
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 4 cups chicken broth (compliant with Whole30)
- 1 cup coconut milk, canned
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 lime lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and poblano peppers to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the cubed chicken breasts to the pot. Cook until white and no longer pink on the outside, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Stir to combine.
Add the diced sweet potatoes, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Use a fork to lightly smash some of the sweet potatoes against the sides of the pot to thicken the chowder.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy!
