Enchilada Squash Chili
This is a bean-less chili, full of flavor and veggies!! Perfect, cozy fall soup to meal prep!
Double batch the recipe & freeze some for later use!
Ingredients:
-300g 99% extra lean ground chicken
-400g raw, diced delicata squash (skin on, but can use any squash)

-400g of diced bell peppers (about 3)
-10 oz can of enchilada sauce
-4 oz can of diced green chilis
-150g diced sweet yellow onion (about 1)
-4 big carrots diced (about 1 cup)
-4 light laughing cow cheese wedges (or can use 4 TB cream cheese)
-6 cups low sodium chicken broth (add more if you want it to be less thick and less if you want it more “meaty”)
-1 lime squeezed
-2 TB chili powder
-2 tsp cumin
-Pink salt & pepper to taste
-Cilantro to garnish & cheese if you want to add it!
Directions:
-In a pan, spray avocado or coconut oil spray & place chicken or meat of choice to brown on medium heat
-Dice up onions, peppers, carrots while that is cooking
-On another burner, get a pot, spray with cooking spray and throw chopped veggies to start browning 4-6 min on medium heat
-Deseed/ chop decicata squash (you can eat the skin so I didnt peel mine)
-Add 1/2 cup of chicken broth to veggies pot and cover with lid to soften, for 2 minutes
-Add frozen cauli rice, and squash, keep lid on
-Once chicken is done, add that to the pot, spices, tomatoes/chili’s and sauce, bring to boil (no lid)
-Final touch, add laughing cow cheese / cream cheese and let simmer for 1-2 hours to combine flavors
To add more carbs in this soup per serving, double the amount of squash you use… I just had one squash on hand so thats all I could make with the recipe!
