About this recipe

This simple pumpkin chicken chili is the perfect fall dish with plenty of protein.

“This is perfect to get some additional protein and fiber,” said Umo Callins, a dietitian and fitness coach with Well Rooted Health and Nutrition. “It’s super easy. Handful of ingredients.”

Garnishing the chili with plain Greek yogurt is a healthier and protein-packed alternative to traditional sour cream. Serve this chili with Frito chips, cornbread or sourdough.

“So many nutrients, so many flavors,” Callins said. “Tastes better the next day.”
