Chipotle Chicken Chili

Filed Under: Main Dish, Recipes Tagged With: recipe round up

I love doing the Recipe Round-Up each month. For the month of January the theme is Cold Weather Comfort Foods. When I think of cold weather one of my favorite foods to fix is chili. You can make it spicy enough that it will warm you from the inside. My favorite lately is Chipotle Chicken Chili. It is delicious! I love chili with chicken instead of hamburger meat. I feel like it is a little healthier and not so greasy. This is just a basic recipe, feel free to add more beans or none at all. Add more or less spices if you want. Even after I added the amounts below I went back and added more spice at the end because it wasn’t quite spicy enough for my liking.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Whole Onion, Diced
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 3 Pounds Boneless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into Large Chunks
  • 1 Cup Of Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 2 Cans Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 Can Tomato Sauce
  • 3 Cans Of Beans (Pinto, Kidney, Black, Red, etc)
  • 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Ground Cumin
  • 2 Teaspoons Cayenne Red Pepper
  • 2 Teaspoons Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Cornmeal
  • 1/4 Cup Warm Water
  • 1 Lime

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat then add the garlic and onions. Cook for a few minutes until onions become translucent.
  2. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned on the outside. Add 8 ounces of the chicken broth, reserving the rest, then cook for a couple of minutes.
  3. Add the two cans of tomatoes with the juice, plus the tomato sauce. Drain and rinse the three cans of beans.
  4. Next add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne red pepper and salt. Adjust the amount you want based on how spicy you like your chili. Stir to combine. Then cover the pot and cook for 1 hour.
  5. To thicken your chili add the cornmeal and warm water together. Then add the cornmeal/water mixture and lime juice to the chili. If you like your chili more soupy donâ??t do the cornmeal/water mixture.
  6. Stir and cook for at least 15 more minutes. If you cook longer the chicken will start breaking up. Serve with the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
  7. Topping Ideas:
  8. Cilantro
  9. Sour Cream
  10. Lime Wedges
  11. Fritos or Tortilla Chips
  12. Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese

    Wonder if my family would dig the chicken chili. They are having issues with anything to do with spicy these days. But hey, it looks good.
    • Sarah says

      February 5, 2014 at 8:55 pm

      Oh yea you could definitely not make it as spicy. Just don't add as much Cayenne Pepper.
      • precious mae says

        February 5, 2014 at 9:02 pm

        Yep. Figured that one. :) I'll just make something for myself so that I can put as much spice as I want.

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷

Nothing spectacular, but she was excited. Of course I had to film it so it was bokeh, cause it is so much prettier that way.
