Instructions
 

  • Start by preparing the chia seed base. In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 1/2 cup of water. Stir well and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the water and develop their signature gel-like texture, which thickens the drinks and provides a pleasant consistency.

  • For the Buttermilk Chia Refresher, combine the soaked chia seeds with buttermilk, pink Himalayan salt, and black salt. Stir gently to combine.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
  • Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder and cayenne pepper.
  • If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute with parsley or omit it altogether.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
