Ingredients required

You will need the following ingredients to make this delicious homemade chicken chilli. The recipe card includes full measurements.

• If you prefer ground turkey or have leftover turkey you can use it instead. This is a great way of using up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving! It’s also possible to use pre-cooked chicken, such as Rotisserie Chicken, from the store. Your time will be saved by doing this. This recipe is a great way to use up the chicken you buy at Costco.
• Olive oil: or you can use avocado oil.
• Sweet onion: A nice sweet onion adds a lot of flavour to a spicy chilli.
• You can also add crunch and flavour to your dish by using bell peppers. You can choose any colour you like, such as yellow, orange, green or even red.
• Garlic cloves – can you have too much? The minced garlic enhances the flavour of this chilli, but you can add more if your garlic addiction is strong.
• Diced tomato: I love how diced tomatoes enhance the flavour of a chilli. They are just acidic enough to bring out the flavours of all other ingredients.
• Chicken broth: I use chicken broth if my protein is poultry. If you don’t have any vegetable or turkey stock, you can use that instead.
• Black beans can add extra protein to chilli recipes, so if you like, you can substitute other types of beans, such as pinto beans or Great Northern beans.
• Sweet corn: You can use fresh, canned or frozen sweet corn in your chilli. When using frozen corn, make sure to thaw it before adding it.
• Seasoning: This chilli is enhanced by a blend of ground cumin, chilli flakes and flakes of dried oregano.

How to make chicken Chili

• Sauté the vegetables – Heat oil in a large pot on medium heat. Sauté the onion, peppers and garlic until they are tender. This will take approximately 5-7 minutes.
• Stir in the beans, corn, tomatoes, broth and chicken or turkey, so reduce the heat to a simmer and let the chilli cook for 12-15 minutes, or until it thickens up and the flavours are blended.
• Garnish: Finally, garnish the chilli, serve and enjoy. It’s that simple! This chilli only requires three easy steps!
