Delicious Green Chicken Chili Recipe for a Hearty Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into cubes)
  • 1 cup green bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 can diced green chilies (10 oz can)
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and green bell pepper. Sauté until softened.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Cook Chicken

    Add the cubed chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.

    Make sure the chicken is cooked through for best flavor.
  3. Add Spices and Chilies

    Stir in the cumin, oregano, and diced green chilies, mixing well.

    Let the spices bloom for a minute for enhanced flavor.
  4. Add Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.

    This helps the flavors meld together.
  5. Finish with Lime and Cilantro

    Stir in lime juice and fresh cilantro before serving.

    Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
