Equipment
- Dutch Oven
- Saucepan
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts boiled or air-fried, then shredded
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 0.25 red onion diced
- 1 can great northern beans do not drain
- 1 can fire-roasted corn drained
- 2 cups kale coarsely chopped
- 4 oz diced green chiles
- 2 cups fat-free chicken broth
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp salt
- 10 oz fat-free plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Cook the chicken by boiling in water for 10 minutes or air frying at 350°F for 12–15 minutes. Let it cool slightly, then shred into tender pieces.
- In a large Dutch oven, spray with nonstick spray and sauté minced garlic, celery, and red onion for about 3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
- Add the shredded chicken, great northern beans (with liquid), fire-roasted corn, green chiles, kale, chicken broth, cumin, and salt. Stir everything together.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes until the flavors meld and kale is tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fat-free Greek yogurt to make it creamy and rich.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm, optionally topped with cilantro, chives, or avocado.
Notes
Don’t add Greek yogurt while the chili is still boiling hot — wait until it's off the heat to avoid curdling. Add jalapeños or hot sauce if you like it spicier. This chili freezes well and is great for meal prep.
