Verde Chicken Chili

Published: March 1, 2022 · Courtney Rushing

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chili is one of those meals I feel we all know and love, but to be honest, I was about sick of the bland, tomato based chili with saltines. I decided I needed to elevate chili once and for all. And believe me, I did.

This chili is packed with flavors from roasted poblanos, corn, cilantro, salsa verde, chicken and cream cheese. I promise, you haven’t tasted anything like it.

As winter comes to a close, we turn less and less to chilis and soups so use this time to get this recipe in your lineup for meals this week. You will not regret it.

Verde Chicken Chili

Roasted poblano, corn, cilantro, chicken and cream cheese provide flavors that you have never experienced in a chili!

    SO GOOD, and even better the next day! This recipe is super easy and the flavor payoff is massive. I wasn’t sure if we were supposed to roast the poblanos, but I did and it came out delicious. We devoured it for dinner and lunch the next day.

    This was absolutely delicious. I made it in the instant pot dumped everything in except for the cheese. Added that at the end.

Deload week. What is it? Why do we need it? What do we do with our caloric intake? 

Swipe to learn!

Believe me, if you’re doing #tightertogether , this week is crucial to aid with weeks 4 and 5! If your carb cycling, keep carb cycling. If you’re at maintenance, stay at maintenance. If you’re building your plate, keep building that plate! Your body deserves food with or without training. 

This week comes at a perfect time for me as I am heading to the beach for a wedding. I plan to take it easy and provide my body a lot of rest!

Tell me one thing you’re going to do this week to aid with muscle recovery?!

Welcome to part 2 where we evaluate a client’s meal diary!

Today’s tips include monitoring your sodium, limiting consumption of processed meats, adding in more fruits, whole grains, and veggies, and making simple swaps to provide more fiber and protein to aid with overall satiety. 

Again, these are just suggestions from a nutritionist to better manage your macros. I could 50 other things in this diary alone. Let me know if y’all want me to keep doing more of these!
