This hearty chicken chili is perfect for cozy nights when you want something flavorful without spending hours in the kitchen. Packed with tender chicken and warm spices, it’s a simple dish that everyone will love.
Start by combining the corn, hominy, pinto beans, and kidney beans in a large saucepan over medium heat. Let it come to a boil, then add the salsa, chili powder, cumin, and water. Bring everything back to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes so the flavors can meld together. When you're ready to serve, stir in the cooked chicken until it's heated through. Enjoy!
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for tender, juicy meat.
- Let the chili simmer longer to deepen the flavors and thicken the sauce.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder or fresh jalapeños.
