Topping Ideas
Avocado slices–Anyone who knows me knows I love avocados. I could eat these babies every day for every meal. They are great on top of this chili.
Sour Cream–Go ahead and add a heaping spoonful to the top of your chili.
Tortilla Chips- Crush them and mix them in with your chili or just dip as desired.
Crackers– Saltines are my go-to crackers for just about any kind of chili.
Sliced jalapenos–Kick your chili up a notch or two with a few sliced jalapenos added to your bowl.
Cornbread– You really can’t go wrong with a piece of fresh cornbread either crumbled up in your chili or as a side for dipping.

I am always looking for easy chicken dinners and I’m so glad I found this one. My whole family loves this chicken chili!
I make something similar to this in my crock pot and it is always so good! However, I’ve never thought to add ranch seasoning and now I feel like I’m missing something! I’m going to have to try out this recipe next time 😊
This is an excellent dinner idea. Avocado for me too!:))
This looks so hearty and comforting. Something you want to dig in to, after a long hard day. Such great flavours in this creamy delicious chili.
Yum! This sounds so simple – I love when I can throw everything in a crockpot for a filling meal. I used my crockpot this past weekend for soup and can’t wait to start using it more in the cold months
Throwing everything in the crockpot is my kind of meal. I love to walk in at night and have dinner ready and waiting on me.
My whole family of picky eaters loved this recipe! We’ll be making it over and over this winter.
So happy to hear this! We love this recipe as well. The temperatures are very low this week, so I will be making this again.
