1-1/2 pound Chicken Breast
1-1/2 pound Sweet Potato, Chopped
14-1/2 ounces, weight Diced Tomatoes, Canned
15 ounces, weight Black Beans, Canned
15 ounces, weight Chickpeas (canned)
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
1/2 cups Chicken Stock (low Sodium)

4 cups Spinach, Fresh

1
In a large pot, add chicken breasts and cover with water. Bring water to a boil and boil chicken for 4-6 minutes (depending on size of chicken breasts). Reduce heat to low and simmer for 7-10 minutes (again, depending on size). Transfer chicken to a bowl or cutting board and shred (I use two forks for this!).
2
While the chicken is being poached, peel and chop sweet potatoes into similar size pieces. Combine sweet potatoes, tomatoes, beans, shredded chicken, minced garlic and chicken stock in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. I like my chili thick; if you like your chili soupier, use a little more stock.
3
Once the mixture is bubbling, reduce heat to low and add seasonings as desired, stirring to make sure the entire pot has a little bit of everything. Cover. Every once in a while, stir, give it a taste and add more seasonings if desired. Cook over low for at least 1 hour, but the longer the better!
4
Once chili is almost done, throw in spinach and mix well, until spinach is wilted. Once your kitchen smells amazing and you can't stand to wait any longer, serve in a bowl topped with desired toppings (I used green onion, avocado, and tortilla chips).
