Paleo Pumpkin Chicken Chili

This coming week, I'm trying to eat 100% Paleo just to see how I feel.  I will most likely find myself missing carbs and dairy, but I'm curious to see how it may change my digestion/weight.  This was super easy to put together, and the flavors came together deliciously.

Ingredients:



  • 3lbs. chicken breasts, cubed
  •  2 cups of red onion, diced
  •  2 cups bell pepper, diced (color of choice)
  • 1 can chopped green chili peppers
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup white wine (optional)
  • 1, 28 ounce can diced tomatoes in their juices
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 3 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 whole cinnamon stick
  •  3 cups canned pumpkin pure
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil


Instructions:

Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Sauté onions until lightly browned, then add bell peppers, chili peppers, and garlic and sauté for another 5 minutes. 




Add in chicken, chicken stock, white wine, organic tomatoes, organic tomato paste, chili powder, pumpkin pie spice, coriander, salt, and cinnamon stick and simmer for 20 minutes.

Stir in pumpkin and cocoa powder and cook for an additional 20 minutes.
