2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons chili powder
3 tablespoons flour
2 (15-ounce cans) cannellini or other white beans, rinsed and drained
1 bunch (about 1 pound) Swiss chard, stems removed, leaves chopped into 1-inch pieces

My sister shared this white bean chicken chili recipe with me. I usually double it and add one extra can of beans, then serve with cheddar biscuits or warmed tortillas. The jalapeno adds just enough heat to notice but not too much for my children. -Kristine Bowles, Albuquerque, New Mexico

2 large tablespoons sazon seasoning
1 large chicken bouillon cube, crumbled

1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Water, to cover chicken
Kosher salt

White rice, recipe follows
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
2 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup medium-grain rice

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil and sugar over medium-high heat. Add the sazon seasoning and the bouillon and cook until the sugar lightly browns. Add the chicken and let it fry, stirring it around to get all the sides browned, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, cumin and chili powder. Add water to just cover the top of the chicken. Let the water come to a boil and stir to make sure the tomato paste is combined. Taste the water for salt*. Cook the chicken stirring occasionally, until tender, about 45 to 60 minutes. Remove the chicken to a serving platter and coat with the cooking sauce from the pan. Serve with Habichuela.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the oil and bacon. Stir in the garlic, bell pepper, squash, tomato paste, bouillon cube, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the beans and simmer for another 10 minutes. Serve over white rice, garnished with cilantro.
  • In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil over high heat and add the oil and salt. Stir in the rice, cover with a lid and let cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes. Lower the heat for the last 5 minutes. The rice should be soft and fluffy.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: A French term meaning "put in place," mise en place refers to the practice of preparing all of your ingredients before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need on hand when you need it.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final dish. Use fresh, flavorful ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Be Afraid to Experiment: Chili is a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. Try adding different spices, vegetables, or beans to create a unique chili that's all your own. And remember, if you prefer a spicier chili allow the pepper seeds and ribs to stay in.
  • Let the Chili Simmer: Allowing the chili to simmer for a longer period of time will help the flavors to develop and meld together. This is especially important if you're using dried beans.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Chili is a great dish to serve with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips.
