Kidney Bean Chicken Chili


This recipe doesn't need any meat as it's a great dish with fresh vegetables and red kidney beans. However, I added in some canned chicken for extra protein. Tofu would be a good option too (ideal for vegetarians).
A spoonful of honey sweetens the chili but the spices (chili, paprika and red pepper flakes) give it the classic 'hot' kick!

My Turkey Chili recipe is also a tasty option if I buy lean ground turkey mince or beef.
