Ingredients

  • 1 can chicken broth
  • 1 can (4.5 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 can (12.5 oz) chicken breast (drained & flaked)
  • 2 cans chili beans (do not drain)
  • 1 can petite diced tomatoes (do not drain)
  • 1 can white corn (lightly drained)
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Toppings

  • sour cream
  • shredded cheese
  • avocado slices
  • tortilla chips

Instructions

  • In a large pot, over medium-high heat, combine all ingredients and stir together. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. 
  • Garnish with toppings and enjoy!
  • ** We don't care for the texture of green chilies so I combine the chicken broth and the diced green chilies in a blender, and blend them up. This will make it so there are no chunks of green chilies in the soup. This is not necessary but an option if you prefer.

Notes

Calorie count is for 1 serving of the chicken chili. Garnishes on top are extra calories (but totally worth it!).
 
All cans are the standard size 15-16 ounces unless otherwise noted in the recipe.
 
Chili beans are pinto beans in chili sauce. I get the mild chili beans. I also get 1 can of pinto bean chili beans and 1 can of the great northern chili beans. I like the mix of both but you can also use two of the same. 
 
I have always used the full salt chicken broth for this recipe. It is not too salty at all, but if you are worried then use the low-sodium chicken broth. 
 
If you want more spice then use a can of hot diced green chilies.
