Directions
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and warm the olive oil; cook the onions until they are soft and translucent. Add the garlic and spices and stir for a minute.
Add the diced sweet potato, beans, tomatoes, green chiles, broth, balsamic vinegar, and agave. Stir gently to combine it all.
Bring it to a simmer and lower the heat; cover and cook the chili for 30 minutes or so until the sweet potatoes are tender. Add a touch more liquid if you need to. Add the cooked chicken and some lime juice.
Taste test and adjust the seasonings - more heat? More lime? A tad more sweetness? Good chili has a balance of these flavors.
Warm through and serve when you are ready.
If the chili thickens too much thin it with broth; if the chili becomes too thin cook it longer with the lid off to reduce the liquid.
Serve with a wedge of lime.

Note: I did not use canned or prepackaged chicken stock. I cooked my chicken in a slow cooker and used the chicken stock from the slow cooker (if you layer onions on the bottom underneath the chicken breast, it will create a flavorful gravy). I shredded the chiken from the slow cooker and then added to the chili. I also did not have agave on hand so I used 1 tbsp of sucanet instead.
