We recently had a party for my grandson's first birthday combined with a family get together. The main dishes were vegetarian chili, chicken chili, and seasoned beef for burritos. I made the chicken chili, combining a couple of recipes I found on the internet. This is the result. Hope you enjoy it, we sure did.
Total Time: 30 minutes prep time and 1 - 2 hours cooking time.
Yield: 10 - 12 servings
Source: Based on recipes from Taste of Home and Betty Crocker sites.
Ingredients:
- 1 - 2 Tbsp vegetable oil of frying vegetables and chicken
- 2.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts - cut into .5 to 1 inch chunks
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 medium bell peppers, chopped
- 2 4 ounce cans of diced green chilies
- 32 oz salsa verde
- 3 cans cannellini (white kidney) beans
- 1/4 tsp dry minced garlic
- 3/4 Tbsp (scant) ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp salt, optional
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, optional
- 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt, optional
Steps:
- Cut chicken breasts into 1/2 to 1 inch cubes.
- Chop onions and bell peppers. If you use fresh garlic, mince.
- Add vegetable oil to pan, add chopped onion, bell peppers, and garlic (if using fresh).
- Cook onions and peppers until onions are translucent and peppers are soft.
- Add chicken and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink.
- Add salt, garlic, cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, and coriander. Stir to blend.
- Add the two cans of diced green chiles, undrained.
- Pour in 32-36 ounces of salsa verde.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 - 2 hours.
- Add 3 cans of beans and heat thoroughly.
- At this time you may also add the sour cream or yogurt to the chili, or serve it on the side along with shredded cheese and tortilla chips.
