I have an actual hug in a bowl for you.

This black bean chicken chili is so comforting and delicious. It’s filled with shredded chicken, fire roasted tomatoes, tons of tender black beans and diced green chiles. Topped with cheese, scallions, sour cream and chives, it’s the most wonderful fall meal. 

I seriously live for meals like this!

This might be one of my favorite soup recipes EVER. Between my tortellini chicken soup and this chicken chili, I am going chicken soup crazy. 

We’re eating it once a week and making a night of it!

Feels like it’s the 90s and I’m making the same few meals over and over. Worth it. Plus, it gives my kids a vehicle for consuming one of their favorite snacks: tortilla chips.

Crush some tortilla chips over this and everyone is thrilled.

We’ve been having the rainest weather which is very much welcome over here. It didn’t rain all summer, so to have it rain for over a week straight feels like a luxury, as well as a good reason to enjoy some cozy, comfort food.

We haven’t hit cold temps yet, but as soon as we do, soups on every night!

This chicken chili is a take on one I have made for almost 15 years now and it is SO SO good. It’s hearty and soul warming, without being heavy. It’s super satisfying and tastes wonderful with an excellent base of flavor.

It can come together super fast if you use a rotisserie chicken or any kind of leftover shredded chicken. The rest of the ingredients are easy to grab, like: 

Fire roasted tomatoes 

Diced green chiles

Black beans

Smoked paprika

Sour cream

And all the toppings!!

The toppings make this, of course. And on the side, I like to serve the most incredible cornbread that I’ll tell you about later this week. It’s dreamy!
