BLACK BEAN & CHICKEN CHILI



BLACK BEAN & CHICKEN CHILI image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Chicken     High Fiber     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dinner     Healthy     Simmer

Yield 6 to 8 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
2 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2 to 3 cups onion, chopped
2 to 4 green and/or red bell peppers (capsicums), chopped
4 large carrots, chopped
1 to 2 cups of mushrooms, thickly sliced
2 to 4 Tbsp vegetable, olive, or canola oil
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Cayenne pepper sauce (such as Tabasco or similar) to taste
2 cans (14.5oz) black beans, undrained.
Lots of: Oregano, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, chili powder, parsley flakes (or fresh parsley)
Less of: ground black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, turmeric
Vegetable or Tomato juice (optional) [V8 Spicy would make a good choice.]
3 to 4 Tbsp Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

  • Sauté chicken in half of the oil, with garlic and some of the onions and bell peppers, together with Worcestershire sauce, Cayenne sauce, paprika, salt and pepper, and put aside. Sauté all the vegetables in the remaining oil, starting with the carrots and ending with the mushrooms. Do most of your seasoning (to taste) here, but save some cumin and chili powder for when the beans are added. Don't add too much Cayenne pepper right away. Combine vegetables, chicken and beans in a large pot. (If you insist on draining the beans, you will have to make up for the lack of liquid and taste some other way -- it's up to you.) Adjust seasoning to taste, and allow to simmer for a while (but keep the vegetables on the crisp side). Add a little vegetable or tomato juice to make the chili thinner if necessary. Lastly, add the secret ingredient: Parmesan cheese! Sample and enjoy!

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans black beans, drained & rinsed
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups corn

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large soup kettle. Saute onion and garlic until soft. Add cubed chicken and cook until done.
  • * I sometimes use precooked chicken to save a couple minutes prep time or use up leftovers.
  • Add broth, spices ,black beans, tomatoes, and corn. Bring to a boil, and then let simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Can also be cooked in the crockpot rather than on the stovetop -- in fact. the longer it cooks the tastier it is. Freezes well also.

Tips:

  • Soak the black beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make them more digestible.
  • Use a variety of beans: In addition to black beans, you can also use kidney beans, pinto beans, or Great Northern beans.
  • Add vegetables to your chili: This will help to make it more nutritious and flavorful. Some good options include onions, bell peppers, corn, and tomatoes.
  • Use a variety of spices: Chili is a great way to experiment with different spices. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat: If you like your chili spicy, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder chili, reduce the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper.
  • Serve your chili with your favorite toppings: Some good options include shredded cheese, diced avocado, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
