Hello! Welcome to a new week! I have a great recipe to start your week off on the right foot — or bowl. 😉 This healthy chicken chili is the perfect thing to whip up tonight or tomorrow and have a healthy lunch all week long! Plus, it doesn’t take long to make — a win-win in my book!
Now this recipe is kind of a hodge-podge of ingredients, which is what makes it versatile to whatever you have in the pantry! Don’t have a can of tomatoes? No problem, use salsa. Don’t have kidney beans? No worries! Use the beans you do have and it will come out just as good!
I love recipes like this, ones that you can make your own. So, I know this is just quick drop in — I’ll write more in tomorrow’s post, but it’s almost dinner time and I can hear the kitchen calling my name. 🙂
Happy Cooking!
XO,
