This is a really easy recipe for fiesta chicken chili. It’s not a white chicken chili, it’s actually tomato based. It’s packed with beans, peppers, chicken, and corn. You can increase the spice if needed, I kept it on the low/medium side, since we have some people in this house who aren’t crazy about hot spicy food!

If you need to substitute a different kind of bean, go for it! You can do a different flavor of canned tomatoes as well, that’s the beauty of chili, you really can’t mess it up.

This fiesta chicken chili is:

• gluten free and dairy free
• full of fiber from lots of beans
• perfect for warming up on a cold day
