"This Clean Eating Chicken Chili is absolutely delicious! I’ve made it twice since I originally posted, and it’s only been three weeks. There is a secret ingredient in this clean eating chicken chili recipe, and it’s an odd one. I used applesauce, I know right? I was tasting the chili and thought it needed a little sweetness, and being that I was practicing a Whole30 recipe, I didn’t want to use Molasses (like in the Super Lean Chili recipe) or sugar. I knew I had to get creative, and that’s when I saw the applesauce sitting in my fridge. It worked really well, just use the unsweetened variety to make it Whole30 and Paleo approved."

I like this take on chili. Who would have thought to use chicken in the chili? I almost always use beef, but this recipe has me wanting to try this really soon. I can see the combo of veggies and beans along with the chicken working to create a tasty dish.

I love chili. I normally make my chili with ground turkey and black beans. I would love to try a ground chicken version. Due to dietary concerns, I will leave the corn out. The cayenne looks to give a little bit of heat. Not a lot, but enough to warm up the dish. I guess I will be putting ground chicken and applesauce on my grocery list.

I thought this recipe looked really interesting for many reasons. All of the chicken chili recipes I have seen before are for a white chili, not tomato based. But my family prefers a tomato-y chili, so this looks delicious! I also thought the addition of applesauce to add some sweetness sounded great, and would offset some of the heat if you added red pepper flakes or any hot peppers. It's great to have a healthier version of this ultimate comfort food!
