Hearty, Healing, and High-Protein: The Power of Chicken Chili

When it comes to comfort food that nourishes your body from the inside out, High Protein Chicken Chili checks all the boxes. This hearty dish isn’t just satisfying—it’s a flavorful, nutrient-packed recipe that supports your wellness journey, particularly during recovery, post-workout, or whenever your body needs a boost.

Packed with Healing Nutrients

Each cup of this chili delivers an impressive 26 grams of protein, primarily from shredded chicken, black and pinto beans, and cottage cheese. Protein is a key building block for the body—essential for muscle repair, immune function, and tissue healing. For anyone recovering from illness, surgery, or intense physical activity, a protein-rich meal like this helps speed up recovery and sustain energy levels.

The addition of chicken bone broth not only adds depth of flavor but also provides collagen, amino acids, and minerals known to support joint, skin, and gut health. It’s an ideal base for those seeking anti-inflammatory and restorative benefits.

Veggie-Powered Immune Support

This chili features a medley of vegetables like onions, bell peppers, corn, and fire-roasted tomatoes, providing a rich source of vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber. These nutrients work together to support immune health, reduce oxidative stress, and aid in digestion.

Chili powder and cumin, beyond adding warmth and spice, are known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, contributing to overall immune defense and aiding the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Customizable and Comforting

Whether you enjoy it as-is or topped with fresh avocado, lime, or shredded cheese, this chili is comforting enough for a chilly evening and powerful enough to support your body’s healing. Plus, with only 262 calories per serving, it’s a wholesome, low-calorie meal that fits into most dietary lifestyles.
