Description
A delicious creamy chicken chili that is easy to make and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (with juices)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 (12 ounce) can corn (drained)
- 1 (14 ounce) can black beans (drained & rinsed)
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 2 cups cooked chicken ((I used a rotisserie chicken))
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- Toppings (optional, to taste): tortilla strips, avocado, sour cream, Tex-Mex cheese, etc.
Instructions
- Add the oil and onion to a soup pot and sauté over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until it’s lightly browned.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Rotel, and chicken broth, followed by the garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, corn, and black beans. Stir well and increase the heat to high.
- Once the soup has come to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer with the pot covered (lid slightly ajar) for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prep the toppings.
- Stir in the cream and chicken and let it warm through for 3-5 minutes. Taste and season with salt & pepper as needed (I am generous with both).
- Serve immediately and top bowls as desired.
Notes
- This recipe can be adjusted by adding more vegetables or adjusting the spices to your taste.
- You can use any cooked chicken you have on hand, such as rotisserie or grilled chicken.
