I really love this recipe. I make it all year round, Even the kids like it! Inspired by Country Living Magazine, January 2001. Pork tenderloin can be used as well. Be sure to top with chopped cilantro. It is great without BUT so much better with it!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed, cut into bite size pieces
1 teaspoon sea salt
6 -8 large fresh tomatillos, husked remove, cored & quartered or 1 lb fresh tomatillo
1 large jalapeno, I use serano chili
2 (4 ounce) cans green chilies
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (12 ounce) can northern white beans, drained, rinsed
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
sharp cheddar cheese, shredded for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Add oil to pot. Over medium heat, sauté chicken, season with salt, cook until no longer pink. About 3-4 minutes. Remove chicken from pot, set aside.
  • In the mean time, in a food processor, make a flavor paste. Combine tomatillos, green chilies and jalapeño and blend until thick & smooth. May need to make 2 batches.
  • Add more oil if desired, add onions and garlic, sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Careful not to burn the garlic. Add chicken back to pot. Add cumin and coriander. Stir.
  • Add the flavor paste, green chilies, chicken broth and beans to the cooked chicken pieces.
  • Simmer for at least 45 minutes or until desired thickness is achieved. I prefer to simmer longer, for up to 2 hours.
  • Top with cilantro at serving.
  • Serve with warm torn flour tortillas or crispy tortilla chips.

This chili is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for a quick and easy dinner.

This chili is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables. The tomatillos are hidden in the sauce, so they won't even know they're eating them.

I love that this chili is made with chicken instead of beef. It's a healthier option, and it tastes just as good.

I'm not a big fan of chili, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The tomatillos gave it a nice tangy flavor.

This chili was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.

The chili was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chili he's ever had.

This chili was easy to make and had a great flavor. I used a combination of ground chicken and ground turkey, and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chili turned out great! It was the perfect amount of spicy and had a nice, smoky flavor. I served it with sour cream and shredded cheese, and it was a real crowd-pleaser.
