Lime Chicken Chili – the perfect Chicken Chili recipe!
Today, my son Harrison scored his very first touchdown in a flag football game! He normally plays center, and snapping the football seems to be what he’s good at. However, today our fantastic coach decided that it was Harrison’s turn to get into the end-zone. As he got the hand-off, he dodged the defensive players and ran it in for a touchdown. He was so excited! Lots of cheers, high fives, and fist-bumps – and that was just by the parents! The boys were thrilled to win their football game, and it turned into a game that we will remember for many years to come. Man, its days like today that I just love being a mom to that sweet kid of mine!!
The game weather was cold and windy, and by the time we got home we were all chilled to the bone. Once the celebrations subsided I knew it was the perfect day for soup. Sunday always seems to be a great day for chili. It just feels like chili and football belong together! I had all the ingredients in the fridge to make Lime Chicken Chili.
This delicious soup comes together in no time at all. Its perfect for a weeknight dinner, and utilizes simple ingredients that you may already have in your fridge and pantry. This soup ended up being the perfect lunch to feed my cold, hungry crew after a morning of football.
Topping ideas for your Chicken Chili
Topped with fresh cilantro, sour cream and a wedge of lime, this soup has a great fresh flavor. You could also add avocado, mex-blend cheese, tortilla chips, jalapenos or any other favorite chili toppings. This soup is also a nice, healthy dinner option, as it includes protein and fiber packed chicken, beans and peppers.
