Chicken Quinoa Chili

I found the original recipe on Pinterest. I didn’t need to make such a big pot, so I halved it & made a few tweaks.

This recipe would be really easy to make vegan. Eliminate the chicken & use veggie broth.

• 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 can chicken broth
• 8 oz tomato sauce
• 10 oz Rotel tomatoes
• 1 can black beans, rinsed & drained
• 3/4 cup frozen corn
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper

 

Put everything in your crock pot. Cook on low for about 6 hours. Remove chicken, shred, & return to crock pot.

Serve with shredded cheese & guacamole.

 

Guacamole

• 1 ripe avacado, peeled, seeded, & sliced
• 1 roma tomato, chopped
• 1 large or 2 small cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• salt, to taste
• onion powder, to taste

 

Put ingredients in food processor & blend until smooth.
