  • 1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste
  • 1/2 green bell pepper chopped
  • 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth
  • 1 medium heirloom tomato chopped

FOR SERVING:

  • coconut milk yogurt

Directions


  1. Heat the avocado oil in a dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. Add the chopped chicken and brown 3 to 5 minutes, until much liquid is seeping out.

  2. Stir in the seasonings (chili powder, oregano, basil, ginger, cinnamon and sea salt), carrots and bell pepper and continue cooking 1 to 3 minutes, until spices are fragrant.

  3. Add the pumpkin puree and chicken broth, cover and bring to a full boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 15 minutes.

  4. Remove cover, add the chopped heirloom (or vine-ripened) tomato and continue cooking at a gentle boil, stirring occasionally, until chili reaches desired thickness, about 20 to 30 minutes.

  5. Serve chili with choice of toppings. I serve with coconut milk yogurt and chives!
