Chicken Chili

Sometimes I get tired of regular beef/bison chili and want something lighter, but still full of protein and of course, easy and fast to make.  Chicken chili is a great alternative as the weather warms up.

Ingredients:
3 lbs ground chicken
1 White onion
2 Cans diced green chilis
3 Poblano peppers
2 Jalapenos
1 Box chicken broth
Cilantro
Avocado

Spices:
Chili pepper
Onion powder
Black pepper
White pepper
Red pepper
Cumin
Garlic powder

Directions:
Turn crockpot on 4 hours.  Cook ground chicken.   Dice onion, jalapeno and poblano pepper.  Add veggies along with green chilis in crockpot.  Add chicken once cooked.  Add spices to your liking then pour 3/4 container of chicken broth.  Add more seasoning and/or chicken broth as needed.  I prefer to use less chicken broth at first then add more later if I need to.  I do not like a my chili too runny. 

Garnish with fresh cilantro and avocado.

Alternatives:  I used 2 lbs ground chicken and 1 lb ground turkey this time as I was short on chicken.  I was also out of onion so I used extra onion powder.  It still turned out great!!

Ingredients - minus onion I had missing :)

Add chicken and veggies to crockpot




Garnish with cilantro and avocado!
