This chili is the ultimate winter comfort food recipe. I saw a recipe similar to this on Good Morning America. I love using my Fontignac enamel Dutch oven and don't see enough recipes that call for its use on here. I switched a few things up. The original recipe can be found on GMA's website. Serve with Monterey Jack cheese and crushed tortilla chips or cornbread.

Tips:

For a creamier chili, use full-fat coconut milk instead of light coconut milk. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to each bowl before serving.
To make the chili spicier, add a diced jalapeño pepper to the pot along with the onion and garlic.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can make this chili in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat.
To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken. Shredded rotisserie chicken works well.
Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
