Ground Chicken Chili

“Last summer, Joe and I made the conscious decision to change the way we eat. We were plateauing with our respective weight and could not figure out what we were doing wrong. Our trainer told us if we wanted to see results, we need to change the way we eat. We adopted a lifestyle change. My goal was to come up with healthy dinners that taste amazing. So amazing, in fact, that you don’t miss the unhealthy things.

I developed a recipe so fantastic that you will not miss the ground beef! I love the extra veggies in it. I recommend adding a good handful of kale to this recipe. I really believe you can add kale to any dish and it will make it ten times better!” – Andi
