Cheesy Chicken Chili serves tender chicken, beans, tomatoes and carrots in a rich, cheddar broth. An easy on the budget, nutritious meal ready in under 30 minutes!
Temperatures are cooling off here in Northeast PA and that means soup weather to me! I love a hearty chili, soup or stew for dinner.
Pantry staples like chicken broth, beans, and canned tomatoes adds even more nutrition to this chili.
These kind of budget-friendly meals are so easy to make and appeal to the whole family. I can serve my Cheesy Chicken Chili as is and friends and family can spice it up if they want or just enjoy! Another great thing about this chili is I got to use my favorite cheese, Cabot brand.
Cabot is a cooperative company which means it is owned by 800 farm families throughout New England & New York and 100% of profits go back to the farmers. All Cabot Cheddars are 100% naturally lactose-Free, gluten-free, and naturally aged.
Did you know in addition to a full line of cheeses, Cabot Creamery also makes Greek yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, butter and whey protein? I especially love their Vanilla Greek Yogurt.

Melissa’s sent me a generous fall fruit and vegetable assortment. Including Sunchokes, D’Anjou Pears, and Meyer Lemons I used in this recipe.
If you never heard of Sunflower Chokes or sunchokes, they have the texture of a potato and are slightly sweet. You can eat them raw in salads or snacks or use as you would potatoes. Cook sunchokes and mash, add to other vegetables to roast or serve alone.
Meyer Lemons have a slightly sweet, less tart flavor. Use Meyer Lemon anywhere you enjoy adding lemon to marinades, dressings or just a squeeze to brighten any dish.
You can find out more about Melissa’s Produce on their website.
