My Grandma Donna would always make me Chicken Chili when I would visit her. It was extremely tasty and included only a handful of ingredients. Since it has been getting colder around here I decided to make some.

Top with a little cheese and this chili is amazing!!Dice up the chicken into cubes. Saute in 2 tbs olive oil in a large pan. When the chicken is fully cooked add the 3 cans of great northern beans. Make sure to not drain the beans. Add the beans and the liquid from the can.

Add the jar of salsa and 2 tsp of cumin. Bring to a boil and then reduce temperature to low and let simmer for 20 minutes.
I used a hot and spicy salsa to add a little heat, but you can use mild or medium.

  1. Rex, that is so simple, I love it! This is one that would be easy for having my youngest son help me make.

    1. It is really easy to make. It is almost so simple that you would think that it wouldn't have much flavor. It is super tasty. You could add all of the ingredients for salsa separately, but this is a quick and tasty meal. I actually had leftovers of it today with Fritos in it. Awesome!!
