Kickin' Chicken Chili

"My low-fat version of chili with a kick! Sometimes I use more chili powder and cumin - it just depends on the day! :) Feel free to modify to your tastes! Note: This recipe makes a lot, but it freezes well."

directions

  • Add water, garlic powder, parsley, and onion powder to large soup pot and bring to a boil.
  • Add chicken breasts and cook (covered)on medium heat until cooked through (about 12 minutes).
  • While chicken boils, chop onion and garlic.
  • Heat olive oil in a souce pan on low heat. Add onions and garlic to olive oil. Cook on low until onions are translucent.
  • Add jar of salsa to onion/garlic mixture, continue cooking on low, and stir occasionally.
  • When chicken is cooked through, remove chicken breasts from soup pot. Keep remaining broth on medium heat.
  • Add tomato soup, diced tomatoes (with juice), corn (frozen or canned), beans, chili powder, cumin, and the garlic/onion/salsa mixture to soup pot and stir to blend.
  • When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred and return to soup pot.
  • Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. As with most chilis, the longer you let it simmer, the better the flavors!
  • Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese.

  1. This is really good. I modified a bit, used ground beef instead of chicken because I didnt have any cooked up and I prefer to use leftover chicken for this next time. Used my own chili spice mix instead of spices stated. Didn't use black beans, used extra kidney beans instead (3 or 4 cans kidney beans instead of beans stated). Didnt use diced tomatoes either since I did not have them on hand. Chili turned out good.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hello, all! Thanks to all the great recipes and tips from the community here at Recipezaar, I think I'm finally getting this whole cooking thing down! FYI: When I review recipes, I take into account that I have to alter recipes so my BF will actually eat it - no mushrooms and no peppers! I realize this alters the taste slightly, but there's not much I can do about it if I don't want him to go on a hunger strike! I also try to use low fat and/or low cal alteratives. Gotta watch that waistline! :) I always try to give a kind, thoughtful review, even if the recipe didn't work out for me. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSCParticipationBanner.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
