Chicken Chilli Verde

This tangy and spicy stew has a kick from the chilli sauce, which is balanced out by sour cream. Besides the chicken, one can add tofu, mushroom, and a range of veggies to make it a full meal. To make the Chicken Chilli Verde one needs pinto beans, oil, chicken, onion, peppers, garlic, chicken stock, salsa verde, salt, corn, spinach, cilantro, and sour cream.

While Chilli Verde technically means green chilli, the dish refers to a Mexican stew made with green chillies. It originated in northern Mexico and was made from pork, but now a variety of meats are used, depending on preference.

Chicken has several health benefits including strengthening bones and muscles. The protein-rich food makes one feel fuller and can contribute to weight management. It has the amino acid tryptophan which leads to the production of higher levels of serotonin, the feel-good hormone, in the human body. However, portion sizes and the way it's prepared also affect how much chicken’s positive impact is felt.

The Chicken Chilli Verde is thus a healthy, nutritious, and culturally rich dish to try out.
