Chicken Chili Recipe

Chicken Chili Recipe.

We must make chili at least twice a month in the fall and winter. It’s one of our favourite meals to keep us warm when it’s chilly outside.

We often serve it with warm, crusty bread or Lime Tostitos (they are delicious). Yummy!

You could easily swap out the chicken for ground beef or turkey, if you wish.
