Best 6 Amazing Hawaiian Chicken Chili Recipes

AMAZING HAWAIIAN CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts and barbecue sauce in a gallon-sized zip top bag and allow to marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet placed over high heat, and add the chicken. Cook the chicken until it is browned and almost cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet, chop into 1 inch pieces, and place in the crock of a slow cooker.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium-high heat, add the diced onion, garlic, and roasted red pepper, and cook and stir until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, ancho chile powder, ground cumin, ground ginger, vanilla, and sugar. Cook, stirring, until blended, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.
• Drain the canned pineapple and reserve the fruit. Stir the pineapple juice, kidney beans, black beans, tomatoes, and chipotle salsa into the ingredients in the slow cooker and set the heat to High. Allow the chili to cook on High until it begins to bubble, about 20 minutes. Turn the slow cooker to Low and cook for 1 additional hour.
• Stir the reserved pineapple into the chili and continue to cook until the pineapple is warm, about 15 minutes. Salt and pepper the chili to taste and serve piping hot.

Steps:

• In large pot or dutch oven, melt butter and sauté chicken* until almost cooked through.
• Add garlic, onion and bell pepper and cook for 2 more minutes.
• Add reserved pineapple juice and all other ingredients- EXCEPT- for the pineapple chunks.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat, stir in pineapple and serve immediately- OR, WHAT I LIKE TO DO- remove from heat allow to cool, cover and refrigerate over night.
• Next day, reheat on stove top, stir in pineapple and serve.
• *Note about chicken: recipe originally calls for 12 chicken breasts.
• I found this a bit excessive and so tweaked the measurement.
• I find 7-8 breasts works for me.
• I guess it depends on how well endowed your chickens were.
• Judge accordingly.
