Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil or butter
  • 1/2 Onion diced small
  • 1/2 Red Bell pepper diced small
  • 1/2 Green Bell Pepper diced small
  • 1 jalapeno diced small (seeds removed if desired)
  • 1 Garlic Clove minced
  • 2 tsp. Cumin
  • 2 tsp. Salt
  • 2 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tbsp. Chili Powder
  • 1 can 14.5 oz. Fire Roasted Tomatoes
  • 2 lbs. Chicken Breasts 3-4
  • 4 cups. Chicken Broth
  • 8 oz. Softened Cream Cheese
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • Optional [1 can Black Soy Beans (I use Eden Brand)]

Instructions

  • 1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add the onion, bell peppers and jalapeno. Cook for 5 minutes until tender and translucent. Then add the garlic and all of the spices.
  • 2. Cook for about 30-45 seconds until the garlic and spices smell fragrant. Add the can of fire roasted tomatoes and the chicken stock. Bring to a slow boil.
  • 3. Carefully place the raw chicken breasts into the pot so it is submerged in the hot liquid.
  • 4. Cook on a simmer for 15-20 minutes or until it hits an internal temperature of 165 F. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
  • 5. Add the softened and diced cream cheese to the pot and reduce the heat to medium low. You may need to break it up with a spoon. While this is heating through, shred your chicken with two forks then add it back in.
  • 6. Continue to stir everything until it comes together and the cream cheese is dissolved. Remove from the heat (it also thickens as it cools) and serve with your favorite toppings!

Notes

Want a thicker chili? Add a teaspoon of arrowroot powder to a small amount of warm chicken broth liquid and whisk until it's dissolved. Then add it back to the full mixture to thicken a bit more.
