PALEO CHILI

Paleo Chili image

Paleo (eating like our pre-agricultural revolution ancestors ate) chili is made without beans. In the west we typically include beans, but I think even non-paleo eaters will enjoy this deep smoky flavorful chili. This is best made a day ahead so the flavors can meld together. Serve with green onions and sour cream.

Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts are best for chili con pollo, as they will add more flavor and moisture to the dish.
Brown the chicken before adding it to the chili: This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
Use a variety of beans: Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all good choices for chili con pollo. You can also use a mix of different beans.
Add vegetables: Onions, peppers, and corn are all classic chili con pollo vegetables. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.
Use a flavorful broth: Chicken broth or beef broth are both good choices for chili con pollo. You can also use a combination of the two.
Season the chili to taste: Chili con pollo should be flavorful and slightly spicy. Add chili powder, cumin, and oregano to taste.
Let the chili simmer: The longer you simmer the chili, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Shredded cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips are all popular chili con pollo toppings.
