If it has started to get freezing where you live, try this easy chicken chili recipe and get all the compliments from your family.
Who wouldn’t be pleased with a hot and hearty meal like this when it’s raining or snowing outside? It’s almost the only thing we dream about when we are on the way home on a chilly weekday. Ok I have some good news for you! I have a very easy recipe for chicken chili that you can put on the table in 30 minutes. You will be amazed with the result and decide to keep the recipe on hand for times when you need a quick family dinner.
Quick and Easy Chicken Chili is one of the traditional winter recipes that everyone should know. Shredded chicken, kidney beans and corn are cooked in a hearty tomato sauce. Such a comforting one pot meal is perfect for this time of year. You will even have leftovers for the next day, which means one pot meal recipe for two meals.
If you are one of those who don’t like winter like me, this quick and easy chicken chili will help you tolerate the weather. You will get really warmed with this hot chili and will easily ignore the cold outside. This meal is absolutely a crowd pleaser and one of the rare meals that kids eat heartily.
You can serve the chili with a extra chili pepper slices on the top. This is so good that sometimes your family members can’t wait to have it in separate bowls and just eat it right from the pot.
