Healthy Chicken Chilli

Chicken chilli made of lean ground chicken, red beans and corn. Slightly spiced, full of protein and fiber.

A healthier version for one of the best comfort foods.

A perfect option to warm you up during winter days. Just imagine, one of those cold days, it’s raining outside, and you are at your home sharing a bowl of chilli with your family or even eating it by yourself. Doesn’t it give you an especially cozy feeling? And the best part, it is HEALTHY and full of nutrients. For a slightly fresh taste, serve it with some guacamole. If you are Mexican food lover (as I am), add some nachos on the side.
