Did you catch my post the other day with Bush’s Baked Beans for The Easiest Chili Recipe ever? Well I have another one you should try, this is my meatless red lentil chili, that uses my favorite chili beans from Bush’s Baked Beans. It’s so easy to whip up and has a kick to it with using chipotles in adobo sauce.

I was able to come up with this recipe using only pantry staples. As we head into the winter months and cold and flu season, It’s important to me to stock pile my pantry. In that stock pile, I include lots of canned goods, pasta and grains. This recipe uses red lentils, chicken or vegetable broth and canned goods like chili beans, diced tomatoes and chipotles in adobo sauce. Can’t find chipotles in adobo sauce? No problem, this tastes just as good without it. Let’s make some!

Ingredients

  • 1 white or yellow onion, diced
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 chipotles in adobo sauce, chopped (take 2 of them out of the can and chop them up)
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 can Bush’s Best Mixed Chili Beans (Kidney and Pinto) 15.5oz
  • 1 can Bush’s Best Mild Kidney Chili Beans 16oz
  • 1 cup red lentils, uncooked
  • Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Recommended Products to Make This Meatless Red Lentil Chili

Instructions

  1. In a dutch oven, add 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Add diced onion and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
  4. Add chipotles in adobo sauce, chicken or vegetable broth, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can Bush’s Best Mixed Chili Beans (Kidney and Pinto) 15.5oz, and 1 can Bush’s Best Mild Kidney Chili Beans 16oz. Stir until combined.
  5. Bring to a boil. Once at a boil reduce the heat and add red lentils.
  6. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Keep stirring it every few minutes because the lentils will stick to the bottom of your dutch oven.
  7. Serve with green onions, sour cream, diced red onion, and whatever toppings you like!

#AD It's no secret that I love using @chobani Gree #AD It's no secret that I love using @chobani Greek Yogurt for numerous recipes on my blog. One of my all-time favorite recipes is this greek chicken! It's so easy to whip up, and Chobani® Greek Yogurt is the star of the dish. I like to use their plain yogurt to make the chicken marinade and also in my simple tzatziki sauce. Did you know that you can now earn on Ibotta with your purchase of Chobani® Greek Yogurt? Find it at @walmart!

Recipe:
Greek Chicken
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Chobani® Non-Fat Plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp fresh or dried dill
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions:
In a large bowl, add minced garlic, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, Chobani® Greek Yogurt, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
Add chicken and coat well. Let the chicken marinade for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Remove most of the marinade from the chicken before adding it to the skillet, or else it will burn.
Add chicken in an even layer to the skillet, leave some space between the chicken pieces so they'll brown rather than steam. You may need to work in batches depending on how big your skillet is.
Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes and then flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked through (165°F).
Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
Serve chicken over rice with a dollop (or two) of tzatziki sauce, diced red onion, fresh dill, and a lemon wedge.
