Chicken chili has become a standard for me. It's similar to the chili I ate daily in college. That chili kept me going strong when weakness and exhaustion threatened to take over my life. It's an easy meal to make, with lots of leftovers to be eaten throughout the week, or frozen for days when you don't feel like cooking. Insulated soup containers make it easy to transport for a warm lunch or dinner. With or without cornbread, it is a filling meal that can be adjusted by adding various vegetables. Gluten free cornbread is covered in the bread section.
