Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds lean ground chicken
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 green apple, diced
3 ounces green olives, sliced
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 avocados
3 tablespoons ranch dressing
½ cup tortilla chips, crushed

Steps:

  • Brown ground chicken, onion, garlic and spices in a skillet. Break up the meat so that it cooks evenly.
  • Add tomatoes then mix in apples and olives.
  • Put stove on low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully marry. Insert a food thermometer into the meat mixture to read at least 165 degrees F.
