I used Ranch Style Beans in this chili. They are near the chili beans. If you can’t find them, you can substitute chili beans or pinto beans.
I used a packet of French’s Chili-O Chili Seasoning.
Can Chicken Chili be made on the stovetop? Yes! You can make this as directed with raw chicken on the stovetop. Add the ingredients to a large stockpot or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil and simmer until the chicken has cooked. Shred or chop the chicken and serve.You can substitute cooked chicken for the chicken breasts for a super quick meal.
