Cheesy Chicken Chili

Temperatures are cooling off here in Northeast PA and that means soup weather to me! I love a hearty chili, soup or stew for dinner.

Pantry staples like chicken broth, beans, and canned tomatoes adds even more nutrition to this chili.

These kind of budget-friendly meals are so easy to make and appeal to the whole family. I can serve my Cheesy Chicken Chili as is and friends and family can spice it up if they want or just enjoy! Another great thing about this chili is I got to use my favorite cheese, Cabot brand.

Cabot is a cooperative company which means it is owned by 800 farm families throughout New England & New York and 100% of profits go back to the farmers. All Cabot Cheddars are 100% naturally lactose-Free, gluten-free, and naturally aged.
Did you know in addition to a full line of cheeses, Cabot Creamery also makes Greek yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, butter and whey protein? I especially love their Vanilla Greek Yogurt.
