INGREDIENTS:
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 tbs olive oil
- Chicken (I used 6 chicken cutlets for mine, but use as much as you'll need for the amount of people you are serving)
- Pinch of Adobo seasoning, with pepper (to season the chicken)
- 12-14 ounces of low sodium chicken broth
- 1 can of spicy chili beans
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles (this adds extra spice, so if you don't like your chili too spicy, then just use regular diced tomatoes)
- Red peppers (I had a jar of sweet red peppers and I used 3 of them. I cut them in small pieces)
- Chili powder
- Cumin
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
- Oregano
- Salt & Pepper
- Whole grain tortilla chips
- Whole wheat rotelli pasta noodles
- Cheddar cheese
- Scallions
- Cilantro
- Red
It's hard to believe that I had all these ingredients in my house already, but I did! You can substitute or omit things as you desire!
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a small pan
- Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and season with Adobo seasoning
- Cook the chicken in the pan with the oil until no longer pink
- While the chicken in cooking, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large pot (this is the pot you will cook the soup in)
- Add chopped onion and garlic to the oil and heat until onion and garlic are cooked throughly
- By this time, chicken should be done so go ahead and add the chicken to the onion and garlic mixture
- Start boiling the water for the pasta and cook pasta according to the box
- Pour chili beans, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth into the onion, garlic, and chicken mixture
- Add cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and chili powder (add these to taste; I put a little and tasted it, and then kept adding until it tasted just right)
- Add the red peppers
- Bring soup/chili to a boil and cover. Simmer on medium low heat for 15 minutes
- Preheat oven to 350 for the tortilla chips
- Crush the tortilla chips and bake in oven for 5-7 minutes or until warm
- Cut up scallions and cilantro (use what you'd like for topping)
Serve chili/soup over the pasta noodles, add crushed tortilla chips and cheese, and top with scallions and cilantro!
ENJOY!!!!!
