Ina Garten Chicken Chili Recipe

Ina Garten’s chicken chili recipe is a classic that combines the savory notes of roasted chicken breasts with the vibrant flavors of yellow onions, bell peppers, and a medley of spices.
I love how this recipe allows the natural sweetness of bell peppers to shine through.
Take the extra step to roast the chicken breasts with olive oil and your preferred seasoning for a tender, juicy result.
Feel free to customize the spice level to suit your taste by adjusting the amount of chili powder and other spices.
