Chicken Chili

Chicken Chili is a simple one pan recipe that makes a change from the usual beef recipe. You can adjust the heat of the chilli powder per your own taste so it suits all palettes. The chicken has a lovely flavour and makes the chilli lumpier than beef would. Serve on a bed of rice, crackers or garlic baguette. I often make this a day in advance and place in the fridge when cooled.  Just warm it up when ready. If you would like to try a different chilli then we also have Vegetable Chilli, Zucchini Chilli, and Texas Style Chilli amongst others. Obviously, you can never talk chili without mentioning Chili Con Carne.
