PUMPKIN CHICKEN CHILI

Such a good way to get pumpkin into children and spouses...


In October, when I stock up on canned pumpkin, it only seems natural to add it to my regular chili recipe. I'm not exaggerating here- it should really be pumpkin chili year-round. And while I don't subscribe to the idea that everything is better with a little pumpkin...in the case of chili, I am a believer.


"This recipe does not taste at all like pumpkin- so don't worry about giving it to people who might turn their noses up- just don't tell them right away and wait until they rave about it to reveal the pumpkin..."

Notes: Northern beans are Bush's.


PUMPKIN CHICKEN CHILI

Ingredients: 1 lb. ground chicken, one can (15 oz.) drained and rinsed Northern beans, one can (15 oz.) pumpkin, 1 cup chopped green pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 cup chicken broth, two cans (15 oz.) petite diced tomatoes, 3 tbsp. chili powder (or to taste), 2 tsp. minced garlic, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.

Serves four well.


1. Cook chicken in a skillet pan over medium heat, and drain.

2. Add all ingredients (including chicken) into a slow cooker or large pot with a lid. Bring to a low boil and cook for 20 minutes.

3. Turn down to low and continue to cook for 1 hour, with the lid cocked and stirring regularly. Remove the lid for the last 20 minutes.

4. Taste for seasoning. Serve with toppings: sour cream, green onion, shredded cheese, tortilla chips, etc.


Tip: This recipe is also good with ground turkey!
