I’ve been dreaming up a version of this chili for a while and I am so glad because it turned out REALLY good! I debated shredded chicken, but the ground chicken is the way to go. This chili is so addictive! I used Trader Joe’s Everything but the Elote Seasoning, which I am slightly obsessed with! It is so good on everything! I especially love it on eggs, believe it or not! It’s got chili powder, chipotle flavor, cumin…so many good things! If you don’t have any or can’t find it, I have included a copy cat recipe below.

This chili has just a few ingredients and is really easy to make. It comes together in less than 30 minutes and would be great for meal prep too! It’s packed with protein and veggies as well. This is the perfect chili to serve for Super bowl as well! Top your chili with more corn, cilantro, and queso fresco!

Here is what you will need:

• Ground Chicken
• Onion
• Diced Tomatoes
• Diced Green Chilis
• Tomato Sauce
• Corn
• Everything but the Elote Seasoning – or the copycat recipe below
• Low Sodium Chicken Broth – I like to keep Better than Boullion on hand.
• Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
• Queso Fresco – you can sub feta if you cannot find it
• Cilantro – for garnish

Everything but the Elote Copy Cat

• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon pepper
