This southwest chicken chili is the perfect easy and comforting one pot meal. Loaded with chicken, diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, beans, and plenty of spices. Using Red Gold petite diced tomatoes with green chilies is a total time saver and the perfect way to add in some extra flavor and spice. Not only are Red Gold tomatoes delicious and flavorful, but they have a Chef’s Best Excellence Award meaning you can be sure you are getting the highest quality product out there.

Tools I used for this recipe:
- USA Pan Half Sheet Pan – my go-to sheet pans, these are truly non-stick and clean up nicely.
- Wooden Spoons – perfect for sautéing and mixing
- Handheld Mandolin – perfect for getting even slices, this mandolin has a rubber handle for good grip and a safety guard. Plus it takes up very little space and you can change the thickness as desired.
Variations:
- Stir in 1/2 cup cream or milk and 4 oz. cream cheese for a creamy southwest chicken chili
- Substitute black beans for cannellini beans
- Add in fresh jalapeño for extra spice
