Whole30 White Chicken Chili With Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Feeling the chill? Warm up with a big pot of chili that’s Whole30-approved! It’s extra luscious thanks to coconut cream, a thicker version of coconut milk. Just stir the cream thoroughly before measuring, and watch your stew turn silky smooth. If you have any leftovers, freeze them for a fast dinner later in the month.
