DELICIOUS CHICKEN BARLEY CHILI



Delicious Chicken Barley Chili image

This is a nice hearty meal that goes together very quickly. You can see how easy this recipe is to adjust for your family's "spicy" tolerance. None of these ingredients are ever really "optional" here. I tend to add more garlic and some cayenne if there aren't any kids eating. You can use the seasoned varieties of the beans, tomatoes, or anything else. I love Rotel. I serve with some warmed pitas or tortillas.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beef: Chuck roast or stew meat are great options for chili because they have a lot of flavor and become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the chili: This will help to develop the flavor and give the chili a richer color.
  • Use a variety of beans: Adding different types of beans to your chili will give it a more complex flavor and texture. Some popular options include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Chili is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Try adding different spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and paprika, to taste.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time: The longer you simmer the chili, the more flavorful it will be. Aim to simmer it for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have the time.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Sour cream, cheese, onions, and cilantro are all popular toppings for chili. You can also serve it with a side of cornbread or crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Beef and barley chili is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pot of chili that your whole family will enjoy.
