Easy Chicken Chili Recipe Made with Costco Canned Chicken

Raise your hand if you have a can of Costco canned chicken sitting in your pantry right now.  Well if you do, you’re in luck because I have an AWESOME recipe for you.

Doesn’t this look good? Yes, yes it does. 😉

I actually found this recipe on a peelie sticker I found on the top of the can if you can believe that. But here’s the thing, as I was reading the recipe I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand so I just adapted the recipe to the things I did have and what do you know, it turned out really, really good. So good we are all looking forward to having it again very soon.

Also, if you are looking for a new freezer meal recipe, this is an excellent candidate to add to your rotation as this recipe makes about {8} 12 ounce bowls of chili.

Have you tried Rotel before? Because I think it was the Rotel and all those little green chilies that made this recipe so darn good. Since discovering Rotel a few years ago, I have a become a BIG fan. If you have an ALDI store nearby they sell a knock of version that is equally as good.

Ingredients {adapted from the original recipe}

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 15 ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
3 10 ounce cans Rotel
2 12.5 ounce cans Kirkland signature chunk chicken breast, undrained
1 1/2 Tablespoons DIY taco seasoning
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot and saute onions until soft and lightly browned. Stir in black beans, Rotel, chicken breast, taco seasoning and cumin. With the end of your spatula, break the chicken chunks so they resemble shredded chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes.

Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, corn, red onions, crushed tortilla chips, whatever floats your boat. But make this recipe. It rocks!

Have a great day everyone,
