We have been having plenty of cold and stormy weather lately and I am loving it! This kind of weather always makes me want to stay at home with a crackling fire and some comfort food for family dinner. One wintery weather meal our whole family loves is chili. Some chili with broccoli and cornbread–what’s better?! Making chili used to really intimidate me. I mean, soaking and simmering beans all day long? Who has time for that? I certainly don’t. But this chicken chili recipe? Super simple. For real. Don’t be scared off by the somewhat long list of ingredients, the one-step cooking instructions make up for it!
the easiest chicken chili recipe
My friend Tiffany shared this recipe with me several years ago. Since then it has become my go-to, fail-safe chili recipe. She got it from her sister, so I guess it technically should be called “Tiff’s Sister Tami’s Chicken Chili”… but that just seems a little long, doesn’t it? I love it because it’s really easy to throw together, it’s so versatile, and most importantly it tastes good!

One of the things I like best about this recipe is that it works great as a freezer meal. I usually double the recipe. This makes enough chicken chili for our family for dinner, plus a freezer meal or two. Just let it cool and then spoon into gallon sized Ziploc bags. Then when I want to reheat I just thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stove top or slow cooker. That’s another great aspect of this recipe. Depending on how busy your day is you can quickly heat this on the stovetop, or let it simmer all day in the slow cooker!
This easy chicken chili recipe is perfect to make for dinner or freeze for later! Don't be alarmed by the long ingredient list–this recipe really couldn't be simpler to make!
- 1 can kidney beans
- 1 can Ranch Style Beans (26 oz. can)
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breasts (OR 2 cans of chicken breast chunks)

- 2 cans Cream of Chicken soup

Great Desiree, hope you guys like it!
I agree, hot chili or soup is the best for rainy days. 🙂
It really is so filling, especially if you have it on top of a potato, who cares about carbs and calories, right? 😉
Thanks Jenny, hope you enjoy if you give it a try!
