Butternut Squash Chicken Chili

Chili season is still in full swing and I’m here for it! When the temperatures drop I love making a big pot of chili. This was my first time using squash in my chili and let me tell you, it is such a great addition!

The Butternut Squash gives it a bit of sweetness to offset the spice. So it’s the perfect combo of sweet and spicy!

Alright let’s get into making this Butternut Squash Chicken Chili!

Butternut Squash Chicken Chili in 2 bowls

Here’s what you need to make this:

  • 2 Tbs EVOO
  • 1 Sweet Onion diced
  • 1 Red Pepper diced
  • 3 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken
  • 1 15oz Can Black Beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 15oz Can Red Kidney Beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 28oz Can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Vegetable Broth
  • 1 small to medium Butternut Squash cubed (approximately 4 cups)
  • 3 Tbs Chili Powder
  • 1 Tbs Cumin
  • 1 tsp Cayenne
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Bring to a simmer and cook 25-30 minutes or until Butternut Squash is softened. Serve with your favorite toppings or eat as is.

If chili looks too thick to you feel free to add more broth during the cook time. I like a hearty thick chili so I only added what is in the recipe card.
