Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 lbs ground chicken
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons chili powder
3 tablespoons flour
cannellini or other white beans, rinsed and drained
1 bunch about 1 pound swiss chard, stems removed, leaves chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the ground chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, cumin, fennel seeds, oregano, and chili powder. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir the flour into the chicken mixture. Add the beans, Swiss chard, corn, and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 55-60 minutes until the liquid has reduced by about half and the chili has thickened. Add the red pepper flakes and simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Ladle the chili into serving bowls. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups dried white beans, such as cannellini
1 sprig fresh sage
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small bunch Tuscan kale (cavolo nero), chopped
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • In a medium Dutch oven, combine the white beans, sage, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 6 cups water (bottled preferred). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, partially covered, for 1 hour 20 minutes, stirring occasionally; the beans should be just tender all the way through.
  • Add the kale, salt and red pepper flakes to the beans and stir to combine. Cover the pan and simmer until the kale is wilted and tender, an additional 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil and the cheese to finish.

Tips:

  • To save time, use canned beans instead of dried beans. Be sure to rinse and drain the canned beans before using.
  • If you don't have kale, you can substitute another leafy green, such as spinach or collard greens.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your taste. If you like it spicy, add more chili powder. If you prefer a milder dish, use less chili powder.
  • Serve the chicken and kale over rice, quinoa, or pasta.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
