- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Canned Goods
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
Liquids and Oils
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat to prepare for cooking the aromatics and meat.
- Sauté onion and garlic: Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Cook ground chicken: Add the ground chicken to the pot and cook until it is browned and no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.

- Add tomatoes, beans, and broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and chicken broth. Stir to combine all ingredients well.
- Simmer the chili: Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook uncovered for 20 minutes to develop flavors and allow chili to thicken slightly.
- Season to taste: Taste the chili and add salt and pepper as desired. Stir and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more Nashville hot chicken seasoning or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Serve with toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions if desired.
- This chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Make sure to rinse canned beans thoroughly to reduce sodium content.
- Adjust the thickness by simmering longer for a thicker chili or adding more broth for a soupier consistency.
