If you’ve stopped by for a recipe, I’m SO glad to have you! Today I’m sharing my Healthy Chicken Chilli recipe which will is a great staple for anyone doing Keto, Paleo, Whole 30 or any kind of clean, healthy eating regime.
This is a flavourful dish that is super easy to throw together. When you’re focused on eating well, finding healthy chicken recipes that stand up…well it’s super important because there’s nothing like a HANGRY Julie when they flop!
