Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Quinoa Chili

I made Chicken, Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Quinoa Chili on Sunday. It turned out delicious.

Here's a list of ingredients, but I did my own thing.

I chopped a medium onion, a couple of minced garlic cloves. I chopped two sweet potatoes, 1 can of black bean, any kind of bean would work. 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 box of chicken broth, 1 tbls. of chicken bouillon, 2 cups water, 1 cup of washed, organic quinoa, 2 uncooked chicken breast, 1 tbls. dried parsley, a splash of worcestershire sauce, and 1 packet of chili seasoning. I put all this in a soup pot, covered and cooked on medium until thicken and everything was cooked. I took the chicken out, shredded it, added back to chili, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.

Topped with our favorite toppings, chopped avocado, chopped green onion, chopped cilantro, fresh lime, and shredded cheese. Toasted corn chips with garlic salt.

Meatless Chili On A Cold Friday Night

Baby it's cold outside...and Chili is just the right fix.
I'm not a vegetarian, but I do not eat very much meat at all, most of the time, I use it more for flavoring. But I have found a meatless chili recipe that is good enough that I may 'never' make chili with meat in it again. This recipe is packed with protein and does not scrimp on flavor - it is perfect in my opinion. Matter of fact, it was so good we did not eat the crackers with it. Normally, I make cornbread with chili, but with the quinoa in this, adding the extra carbs, I opted out of making cornbread. Crispy tortillas or Frito's would be delicious, we don't normally do those because of David being diabetic I just do not buy chips. We don't eat many and they are too expensive for me to buy and throw out because they would go stale long before we could finish them off.

Before all the yummy toppings.
