Fall weather is upon us. This is a healthy and different alternative to traditional red chili con carne. I am using ground chicken in place of beef and freshly cooked pinto beans from my family's bean farm in Colorado to create a spicy chili. This is a real belly-warmer. Feel free to use canned green chile and eliminate the jalapenos if you need to take down the heat. Serve this up with some sweet cornbread to offset the heat.

I did slice up some avocado to garnish. This was soooooo yummy. A light meal, low on calories, but very filling and perfect for a cold day.

How To Make chicken green chili sherry's way

Step 1

What you need:

Step 2

Saute the ground chicken, onions and jalapenos in olive oil until the chicken is done and jalapenos/onions are somewhat tender. Transfer to a crock pot.
Step 3

To the crockpot add the stock and spices. Add 1 cup pinto beans and the rough chopped green chile. Cook on high for 2 1/2 hours.
Step 4

Puree the other 1 cup pintos. They will be the thickening agent later on.
Step 5

Add the pureed pintos and cook on low for another 2 hours.
Step 6

Place some tortilla chips or torn tortilla pieces at the bottom of the bowls. Spoon over the chili. Top with shredded cheese and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Step 7

Serve with some sweet cornbread and butter. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/sweet-bread/aunt-marcias-tennessee-sweet-cornbread.html
