Ranch Chicken Chili

Ranch Chicken Chili

I love chili on a cold day! This is a white chicken chili that is loaded with veggies and protein and sure to warm you up. I used Wildtree spices, you can substitute with similar spices from any grocery store. I make this as a freezer meal and prep it in advance. When I want to serve this I thaw the bag in the freezer two days prior and put the bag in a container in case it leaks. I cook this in the slow cooker to warm up on cold winter days.

Ingredients:

1 pound diced chicken breast

1 sweet onion diced

1 bell pepper diced

1 cup frozen corn

1 15 ounce can low sodium black beans drained and rinsed

1 15 ounce can low sodium white cannilini beans drained and rinsed

1 10 ounce can diced tomatoes with chilis

8 ounces nonfat plain Greek yogurt

1 cup water, reduced sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth

2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning powder (Wildtree Cream Ranch Dressing Mix)

1/2 tablespoon Spicy Carne Asada Seasoning blend (Wildtree)

1 cube vegetable bouillon soup base

Shredded cheese to top (Cheddar, Monterrey Jack, etc..)

Fresh cilantro to garnish

Directions:

  1. Place all ingredients in a gallon freezer bag if prepping in advance. Remove excess air. Freeze. Thaw at least 2 days in advance.
  2. Pour thawed bag or fresh ingredients into crock pot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours stirring occasionally.
  3. Top with shredded cheese and cilantro.
  4. I love to serve this with corn muffins. My kids also like dipping tortilla chips in chili as they eat it.
