HEALTHY CHICKEN CHILI
This recipe for Healthy Chicken Chili is the perfect recipe for cool fall and winter nights! We typically make a large batch during meal prep and then eat it for lunch or dinner during the week.
You can make this recipe in the crockpot or just cook it on the stovetop and let it simmer. You can also brown the meat before adding to the crockpot or make it even easier by throwing it all in there without doing any prior work.

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground chicken breast
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2–4 oz cans of diced green chilies
- 1–15 oz can of black beans (drain)
- 1–15 oz can of kidney beans (drain)
- 2–14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp spicy mustard
- 1 Tbsp regular mustard
- 2 tsp cumin

Instructions
- Brown meat with onions and garlic in a large pot. Cook until no longer pink.
- Place meat in crock pot. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir until combined.
- Place on “low heat” for desired time (we prefer around 2 hours since the meat is already cooked).
Notes
- To make without a crock pot: Brown the meat in a large pan and then add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes (until beans are cooked through).
- No fuss crockpot: Add all ingredients to the slow cooker (you can break up the ground chicken if you prefer) and set on low for 8 hours.

How much is 1 serving about? A cup?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Stephanie, I usually eat about a cup. If you use 2 lbs of chicken the entire recipe should make 8 servings so if you want to be really specific about it you could weigh the entire thing & divide by 8 to get the exact serving weight. I hope this helps!
