Some days you just want something filling and warm because you can't shake the cold. Those days I get a hunger for some chili. I had some thawed chicken breasts in the fridge waiting for a use. I figured I had to be able to find a chicken chili recipe.
I could probably make this recipe healthier if I soaked my beans instead of using canned beans...but time was of the essence. My husband has been trying to get me to can tomatoes myself, but I am just not ready for that yet either.
My husband loves to dump mountains of oyster crackers on top of his chili, or he likes it served on top of pasta. I am trying to help my family make better eating choices; so, I added Triscuit crackers to the chili. Triscuits are made of only three ingredients, and I can name them all. If we want a more filling dish, we will eat the chili on top of quinoa now. Baby steps toward a healthier lifestyle.
