How to make Mama’s Chicken Chili
A healthy option to your traditional ground beef chili recipe. You can’t beat the convenience of rotisserie chicken, especially on a busy weeknight. Chicken is a heart-healthy alternative to beef. If you want to make this a completely plant-based meal, the beans provide plenty of satisfying fiber and protein.
