Classic Chickpea Chili

Classic Chickpea Chili

This hearty chili is packed with protein, bold flavor, and wholesome ingredients. It's a simple one-pot meal that's perfect for meal prep, weeknight dinners, or feeding a crowd. Using our Chili Blend POD makes seasoning effortless—just add it in and let the flavors come together.


Ingredients

  • 1–2 lbs ground meat (ground turkey, beef, or chicken all work great)
  • 1–2 Petrichor Organics Chili PODS (Use 1 POD per pound of meat.)
  • 2 cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup sweet corn or fire-roasted corn
  • ½ small red onion, diced
  • Water, as needed

Step 1: Brown the Meat

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the ground meat and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it's fully browned and no longer pink.

Drain any excess grease if necessary.


Step 2: Add the Flavor

Sprinkle the Chili POD evenly over the cooked meat.

Stir well to coat the meat with the seasoning.

If the mixture seems dry, add ¼–½ cup of water to help dissolve the seasoning and evenly distribute the flavor.


Step 3: Add the Remaining Ingredients

Add the diced red onion, garbanzo beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, and corn.

Stir everything together until well combined.

If you'd like a thinner chili, add a little more water until it reaches your desired consistency.


Step 4: Simmer

Bring the chili to a gentle simmer.

Cover with a lid and cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to develop.

Remove the lid and continue simmering for 10–15 minutes, or until the chili reaches your preferred thickness.


Serve & Enjoy

Ladle the chili into bowls and serve hot.

Top with your favorite garnishes like shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, or green onions. Pair it with tortilla chips or add it to a tortilla wrap for a chili burrito.
