Green Chicken Chili image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
1 large onion, diced
1 jalapeño, seeds removed for less heat if desired, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cooked chicken breasts, such as from rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 cup salsa verde
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

Cheese Skulls, recipe follows
Tortilla chips, sour cream, cilantro, chopped scallions, for serving
1 1/2 cups whole milk shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and use a wooden spoon to break up the meat as it browns. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to the Dutch oven and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and jalapeño. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cumin and coriander and cook until the spices are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, shredded chicken, cooked ground chicken, salsa verde, salt and pepper and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and let simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 hour. Stir in the beans and half-and-half and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced and the chili is thick, about 30 minutes.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ½ cups shredded pepperjack cheese
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
1 tablespoon dry fajita seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9 inch square baking dish (or similar size) with cooking spray.

Close, and secure with a toothpick so that the cheese does not escape while in the oven. Place the stuffed chicken into the baking dish. Season with Fajita seasoning, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese and chilies over the top.

CHEF JOHN'S GREEN CHICKEN CHILI



Chef John's Green Chicken Chili image

Make this easier version of chili verde using chicken and a tomatillo-based green salsa instead of roasting and pureeing fresh tomatillos. Note that this is a green chili made with chicken and not a chili made with green chicken. Sorry if this disappoints anyone. You can serve it with sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and corn tortillas or corn bread.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
kosher salt to taste
1 (24 fluid ounce) bottle tomatillo-based salsa verde
½ (4 ounce) can chopped roasted green chiles
3 cloves garlic
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced
½ cup lightly packed cilantro leaves and stems
1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
2 (15 ounce) cans white kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Season chicken thighs with salt on both sides.
  • Transfer 1/2 the chicken to a dry, nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl. Brown the rest of the chicken. Let cool to room temperature before cutting.
  • Combine salsa verde, green chilies, garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro in a blender. Blend, starting on low and finishing on high, until sauce is very smooth and bright green.

  • Rinse out blender with a splash of water and pour into the pot. Mix together and set heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until chicken is tender, depending on size of chicken pieces, about 1 hour. Stir in kidney beans and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN



Green Chile Chicken image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or more to taste
2 cloves garlic
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 poblano chiles
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 6 slices

Steps:

  • First, make the marinade for the chicken: Combine the olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, pepper, chipotle peppers and garlic in a blender and mix until totally pureed. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag with the chicken breasts. Seal the bag, smush it around to coat the chicken and place it in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours (overnight if possible).
  • After the chicken has marinated, roast the poblano chiles one-by-one over the flame of your stovetop, using metal tongs to hold them, until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) When the skin is totally blackened, place the chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow the chiles to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Remove the chiles and use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Slice the chiles in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds and membranes. Lay out the chile halves so they'll be ready for the next step.
  • Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat (or use a skillet). Grill the chicken (or saute in the skillet) for 4 minutes on the first side. Turn the chicken over and lay 2 chile halves and a nice slice of cheese on the cooked side of each piece. Turn the heat to medium low and allow the chicken to finish cooking until it's totally done in the center, 4 to 5 minutes. The cheese should melt on its own; if it needs a little help, invert an iron skillet over it (or put the lid on the skillet, if using). Serve!

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN TACOS



Green Chile Chicken Tacos image

This weeknight chicken dinner takes advantage of canned green chiles, a flavorful and time-saving pantry staple. The green chiles have already been roasted, peeled and chopped for ease; simply combine them with spices and broth for a quick sauce with nice mild heat and smoky notes. Chicken thighs are an affordable cut that's juicy, tender and rich with flavor, but chicken breast could also be used here for leaner (but just as tasty) tacos. Leftovers can be turned into a zesty pasta salad or used as a hearty omelet or frittata filling.

Categories     weeknight, tacos, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup safflower or canola oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion (from 1/2 medium onion)
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper (from 1/2 bell pepper)
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 (4-ounce) cans chopped green chiles, drained
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed or toasted
Shredded cabbage, store-bought pico de gallo or salsa, sliced avocado, sour cream, and cilantro leaves and tender stems, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix oil with oregano and cumin. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. To the skillet add 2 tablespoons of the seasoned oil, half of the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and is lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer chicken to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and remaining chicken to the skillet and repeat.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion and bell pepper to the empty skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add green chiles, broth and chicken (along with any accumulated juices) and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the liquid is absorbed, the mixture is thick and the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas. Top with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, avocado, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well for this recipe. If you're using breasts, slice them into thin strips so they cook evenly. If you're using thighs, trim off any excess fat.
  • Make Sure Your Sauce is Flavorful: The green chili sauce is the key to this dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of fresh and dried chilies, and don't be afraid to add other spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sides: This chicken with green chili sauce can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. It's also great on its own as a quick and easy lunch or dinner.

Conclusion:

This chicken with green chili sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The sauce is flavorful and spicy, and the chicken is cooked to perfection. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
