Easy Cilantro Lime Chicken Chili

Iris Warren

Report

This hearty cilantro lime chicken chili is warming, creamy and comforting. It’s dairy-free with a subtle taste of coconut and lime to blend perfectly with salsa verde and cilantro. It’s a great alternative to traditional beef chili and makes an easy-and-quick, simple yet highly delicious meal.
