Healthy Chicken Chilli

If you’ve stopped by for a recipe, I’m SO glad to have you! Today I’m sharing my Healthy Chicken Chilli recipe which will is a great staple for anyone doing Keto, Paleo, Whole 30 or any kind of clean, healthy eating regime.

This is a flavourful dish that is super easy to throw together. When you’re focused on eating well, finding healthy chicken recipes that stand up…well it’s super important because there’s nothing like a HANGRY Julie when they flop!

I personally try to have some in the freezer at all times so that I can have it as a snack or lunch when I’m in a pinch. This is a keeper recipe for anyone looking to keep sugars low getting in their veggies. Add in the fact that it’s delicious and it’s a win-win.
