Chicken Chili: A Nutritious One Pot Dinner Idea

This One Pot Chicken Chili Dinner Idea is a Dinner Trifecta.  It checks all the important boxes of a great meal busy moms can serve their families:  

Sometimes it’s easy to get one or even two of those boxes checked, but having two young toddlers to please, makes checking that third box the trickiest.  This ‘winner’ of a chicken dinner idea will leave you feeling satisfied—not just from the delicious chili, but also from knowing you fed your kids a nutritious meal.  It’s a tasty way of packing lots of veggies and nutrition into one meal.  Because of this, it’s a meal on repeat in our house.

This chicken chili is great for leftovers and keeps well in the fridge or freezer. Sometimes I make double batch and freeze half.  I even do this with a single batch if I don’t want leftovers too many nights in a row.

VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEA Comment “GIFT” and I VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEA  Comment “GIFT” and I’ll send you a direct message with the links to shop!  💕This heart pillow makes the perfect gift for friends and family - especially those who live far away! It’s like giving and receiving a hug!  💕The pillow is soft and the perfect size — making it a cute piece of decor on a couch or bed too.  💕The sweetest note is included that I think adds a personal and perfect touch! This pillow comes in plenty of pretty colors but they tend to sell out or colors get limited during Valentines Day.  💕But save this post for later because it makes a great gift throughout the year too.  It’s a perfect ‘just because’ or ‘thinking of you’ gift - or if someone close to you is going through an illness or tough time.  💕I’m about to put this one in the mail to someone special - and I can’t wait for them to get it! 🥰 And if you give this (or get this) pillow, I hope you enjoy too! 🫶  #valentinesgift #valentinesdaygift #valentinegifts #valentinegiftideas #valentinegiftsforher #valentinegiftidea #heartpillow #valentinesday #valentinesday2024 #valentinesdayideas
