One Pot Chicken Chili Salsa Verde

Today I'm going to show you how to make a tasty, low-calorie dish that can be made in a single pot.

This recipe calls for that leftover chicken in the fridge that everyone wonders, "Hmm, what can I make with this?"

Not only do you get to use up that chicken, but this dish is also very budget-friendly. You can gather the rest of these ingredients either from stuff in the pantry or for only a few dollars at the grocery store.

If you make this dish for your family it will feed 3-4 people.

If you prefer a burrito, then simply use only half of the chicken broth, that way it won't be so soupy.

Supplies

  • Leftover Fully Cooked Chicken from the fridge ( I used one very large grilled breast)
  • 1 jar of La Victoria Salsa Verde
  • 1 cup of low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can of diced green chillis
  • 2 large ears of corn, may use canned or frozen as well
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Shredded pepper jack cheese
  • Sour cream (I mix cayenne into it for added heat)
  • Lime slices
  • Tortilla chips or flour tortillas

Shred Your Chicken

The first thing to do after gathering your ingredients is to shred your chicken. I prefer to shred it, but you can make yours into chunks if you like. Once the chicken is shredded add to your pot.

Add the Remaining Ingredients

Add your rinsed black beans, salsa verde, broth, green chilis, corn cobs, & the seasonings. You want to give it a good stir, make sure its all mixed up well. Bring your pot just to a boil then immediately reduce heat to low, cover and cook for additional 10 mins. Stirring often.

If You Like a Little Heat Use Cayenne!

Now, while your dish is simmering, prepare to serve your meal. My husband and I like spicy so I mix the sour cream with the cayenne, I don't add it to the entire pot because my daughter hates sour cream and spicy. This way everyone can eat, without any hassle.

Serve It Up!

Once your timer goes off, turn off the stove and allow to cool for 5-10 mins. Serve your meal with a bit of shredded pepper jack cheese, a lime wedge, a dollop of sour cream, and of course the tortilla chips! I think the chips are a must-have with this dish, I like to break them into pieces and toss them right into my bowl. Be careful it's hot!

I do hope you enjoy this dish, I know my family loves it! Not only is it a quick dish with start to finish in 30 min max, but it is also a very low calorie, healthy dinner option that everyone will love!
