I love this chili recipe because it’s very different than other chili recipes! The addition of acorn squash is a bonus. It makes this chili feel like fall or winter. And replacing beef with chicken is a good idea too. There are some other interesting additions to the chili like Chinese five spice powder, cocoa powder and beer. All of those things contribute to the final result of this amazing acorn squash and chicken chili!
Ingredients needed:
olive oil red onion red or orange bell pepper jalapeño garlic Chinese five-spice powder and chili powder acorn squash chicken breast canned diced tomatoes light beer unsweetened cocoa powder brown sugar canned pinto beans limes cilantro sour cream (for topping, optional)
