How to Make Ground Chicken Chili

  1. Brown 1 lb ground chicken in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 large chopped onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons chipotle chili powder, 1 tablespoon Kittencals chili seasoning mix (210744), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Consider adding a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity if necessary.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or chopped cilantro.
