WHITE BEAN CHICKEN CHILI



White Bean Chicken Chili image

This recipe was passed down from a friend, and now it is one of our favorites! It's great to make whenever there is left over chicken or turkey around! We pray for colder weather in California just so we can make this soup! You can substitute additional diced tomatoes for the tomatillos. If you would like the soup to be spicier, you can add some red chili flakes or salsa. Serve with these toppings for people to choose from: limes, cilantro, cheese, avocado, sour cream, and tortilla chips.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into squares
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into squares
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin

3 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
3 (14.5 ounce) cans Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed and chopped

Categories     Bean     Chicken     Poultry     Low Fat     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound small white beans
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 extra-large onion, chopped
8 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
2 4-ounce cans diced green chilies
5 1/4 cups canned unsalted chicken broth
4 cups water
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, well trimmed, cut into strips
Plain nonfat yogurt
Chopped fresh cilantro
3 jalapeño chilies, minced

Steps:

  • Soak beans overnight in enough cold water to cover. Drain.
  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in cumin and oregano and cook 1 minute. Mix in beans and chilies, then chicken broth and water. Simmer until beans are very tender and chili is creamy, about 1 hour 45 minutes or less.(Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Return to simmer before continuing.)
  • Add chicken to chili and stir until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Ladle chili into bowls. Garnish with yogurt, cilantro and minced chilies and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right type of beans is essential for a successful chili. Different types of beans offer unique flavors and textures, so choose according to your preference. Some popular options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and cannellini beans.
  • Soaking the beans before cooking helps reduce cooking time and makes them more digestible. You can soak them overnight or for a minimum of four hours.
  • Rinsing the beans thoroughly before cooking removes any impurities and excess starch, resulting in a cleaner and more flavorful chili.
  • Using a variety of spices and seasonings is key to creating a flavorful chili. Common spices include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add fresh herbs like oregano or cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
  • The type of chili pepper you use will determine the spiciness of your chili. If you prefer a milder chili, use mild chili peppers like poblanos or Anaheim peppers. For a spicier chili, use hotter peppers like cayenne peppers or habanero peppers.
  • Using a combination of different types of chilies adds depth and complexity to the flavor of the chili. Experiment with different combinations to find your perfect blend.
  • Adding a little bit of chocolate or cocoa powder to the chili enhances the richness and depth of flavor. It also helps balance out the spiciness of the chili.
  • To achieve a thicker consistency, you can mash some of the beans using a potato masher or immersion blender. This will also help thicken the chili as it simmers.
  • Garnishing the chili with fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado adds a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Creating a delicious and satisfying chicken bean chili involves careful selection of ingredients, proper preparation techniques, and a harmonious blend of flavors. By following these tips and experimenting with different ingredients and spices, you can create a unique and flavorful chili that will become a favorite in your household. Remember to adjust the spiciness level according to your preference and garnish the chili with your favorite toppings to elevate the overall experience.
