Ingredients

Oil

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil

Chicken

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast (or 3 cups cooked shredded chicken)

Vegetables

  • 1 med onion, chopped
  • 2 jalapeño peppers chopped (remove seeds to make it less spicy)
  • 2 poblano peppers chopped

Spices

  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Canned Goods

  • 1 15 oz diced tomatoes (or 4 medium tomatoes chopped)
  • 1 15 oz can of pumpkin purée
  • 2 small cans diced green chili peppers

Liquids

  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk or cream cheese (optional but makes for a thicker and creamier chili)

Instructions 

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until no longer pink, then set aside.
  • Sauté onion and peppers until softened. Add cooked chicken back to the pot.
  • Add spices, tomatoes, pumpkin, chili peppers, and broth. Simmer to blend flavors.
  • Reduce heat to low, stir in coconut milk or cream cheese until creamy. Serve hot with garnish.

Notes

For extra creaminess, use cream cheese instead of coconut milk.
