Corn Chickpea Chili Recipe

It’s no secret that I keep this corn chickpea chili recipe on repeat every winter, and for good reason!

Growing up my mom and dad used to make chili every single week during the winter. It was a good staple for a large family and an easy thing to grab and heat up following a sports game.

Not only is it quick, but it’s also super inexpensive to make, totaling around 10$ for a pot that has 4-5 servings.

If you have been following along here since last year then you know that this staple of mine used to be made without chickpeas. I only started adding them in this fall, after I realized how not only are they a yummy addition, but a great way to get in some solid plant protein.

I can promise you that this corn-chickpea chili recipe will be a crowd pleaser whether you bring it to a football tailgate, a holiday get-together, or a party.
