There’s definitely a nip in the air, and when it gets cold there is nothing better than a bowl of steaming hot chili.
There is already a beef-based chili recipe here on the blog, but I wanted to switch things up this time and give chicken chili a chance. The recipe comes together fast, and yields a flavorful and healthy meal. With autumn finally settling in and winter fast approaching, it looks like there is a lot of chili in my near future 😉

Recipe Notes
Chili powder refers to the spice blend made up of paprika, cumin, etc.; It is not meant to be confused with cayenne or red chili powder.
