A pot of savory Chicken Chili certainly can be a meal in itself, but what fun is that? These delicious recipes will turn any pot of hearty chili into a meal that’s perfect for entertaining, game day, or an easy weeknight dinner.
My Easy Crockpot Chicken Chili recipe is a cozy, comforting dinner I can throw together in a few minutes, then just walk away.
It’s filled with juicy chicken breasts and a bunch of different types of beans. The best thing about this recipe is you can use any kind of bean you have in your pantry ... white beans, black beans, cannellini beans, kidney beans, great northern beans ...
And the zesty tomato sauce is seasoned with green chilies, garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin. Way better than traditional beef chili, if you ask me, and definitely comfort food at its finest.
We love to serve chicken chili with all the usual chili fixin’s like:
- Avocado slices
- Sour cream
- Sliced green onions
- Green chilis
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Lime wedges
- Fresh cilantro
It's also really delicious with sweet potato fries and these Mexican street corn pinwheels.
A great way to turn your favorite chili recipe into a hearty meal is to load up the dinner table with starters, breads, salads, and sides that will tantalize everyone's taste buds.
