Chicken: You can use fresh or frozen Tomatoes: Canned diced tomatoes such as Rotel. Corn: Canned corn not drained! It’ll add extra flavor and liquid. Black Beans: Rinse and drain these. Ranch Dressing Mix: Dry mix, make your own for the tastiest version! Cumin: A staple spice in Mexican cooking. Chili Powder: Adds the heat.

Tips for the Best Tasting Chicken Chili
This recipe is so easy to adapt where you want to, it’s truly going to change the way you look at chili.
Beans: Use different beans if you’d like. Pinto, kidney or white kidney all can be used in this chili. Tomatoes: Sub out a jar of your favorite salsa for the tomatoes. Seasoning: If you’re in a pinch and you don’t have some of the spices, you can sub them out for Taco Seasoning. It’ll taste different but will work. Spice it up: Add in a can of green chilies or jalapeno for a kick. Vegetarian: If you want to make it meatless, swap out the chicken for another can of black beans and 3 cups diced sweet potatoes. Creaminess: If you don’t care too much about the calorie count use full fat or low fat cream cheese. It will make it even creamier.
Top it
Again this probably won’t keep the calories down but it’ll still be within reason if you top it sparingly.

Store It
Fridge: Store covered in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. Freeze: Yes this can be frozen. I like to freeze it in a gallon bag and lay it flat so that it’s easier to store and stack in my freezer. It will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and heat slowly on the stove for best results.
