This delicious spin on traditional chili will leave your taste buds craving more. Flavorful green chiles are paired with warm spices, white beans, and sautéed chicken for a filling and hearty meal.

I love chili, but chili doesn’t tend to love me back. While I can tolerate fresh tomatoes in small amounts, I don’t do well with tomato sauce-based recipes like chili, spaghetti sauce, and even most salsas.

Even though I tend to avoid the overconsumption of nightshades in general, I do allow myself to have some peppers and fresh tomatoes on occasion. I can tolerate these foods well, as long as I don’t eat them day in and day out for every meal.

Recently I’ve had a hankering for chili AND for green chiles. I think it’s all the roadside stands that I see around town where they are roasting fresh green chiles. That smell…Oh yum. It makes my tastebuds water just thinking about it! 🙂

I figured since I wanted chili and I wanted green chiles, why not combine the two in a flavorful soup, perfect for Fall. This recipe is super hearty and can be whipped up in about 40 minutes (that includes prep, cook, and simmer time). It tastes amazing the day of, but I think it tastes even better after it’s sat in the fridge for a day or two.

So, I’ve been wanting to make this recipe for a few weeks now and just hadn’t gotten around to doing it. Then my friends over at Sprouts contacted me and said that they were in need of a fun chili recipe for Fall to be featured on their Sprouts Brand blog and they were interested in hiring me for the project! Well, of course, I said yes and dove right in.

I keep the recipe simple — only basic ingredients that you can find at any grocery store (including Sprouts). Why you may already have most of this in your kitchen already.

Also, you can easily add more to this recipe if you like. Pump up the nutrition by adding chopped carrots, celery, and even some finely shredded Swiss chard. Don’t like or tolerate beans? Leave them out and replace with some chopped cauliflower.

This recipe also freezes well (and you know what a fan I am of freezer cooking), so make a double recipe, portion it up, freeze it, and have healthy lunches and dinners ready in a pinch.

OK, let’s dive in! 🙂
