Provided by Tasha

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 chicken breasts (large, shredded)
1 tbsp Butter
½ onion (chopped)
2 cups Chicken broth
10 oz diced tomatoes (canned, undrained)
2 oz tomato paste
1 tbsp Chili powder
1 tbsp Cumin
1/2 tbsp Garlic powder
1 jalapeno pepper (chopped (optional))
4 oz Cream cheese
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Prepare chicken by boiling chicken breasts in water or broth on stovetop for 10-12 minutes, just barely covered in liquid. Once the meat is no longer pink, remove from fluid and shred with two forks. This same technique can also be used with a pressure cooker at pressure for 5 minutes with a natural release, or a slow cooker for 4-6 hours. Whatever's clever for you! Rotisserie chicken meat can be substituted for the breasts as well.
  • In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent.
  • Add the shredded chicken, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and jalapeno to the pot and combine by gently stirring over the burner. Bring to a boil, then drop it down to a simmer over medium-low heat and cover for 10 minutes.
  • Cut cream cheese into small, 1-inch chunks.
  • Remove lid and mix in the cream cheese. Increase the heat back up to medium-high and continue to stir until the cream cheese is completely blended in. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Eat as-is or garnish with toppings of your choice. I love cilantro and Monterey jack cheese for ooey gooey goodness.

SHREDDED RED-CHILE MEAT



Shredded Red-Chile Meat image

Tortillas, which of course can be used in a variety of ways, are also potential tacos. This recipe for a kind of shredded chile-sauced meat - beef, pork, chicken or lamb - goes perfectly with homemade tortillas.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, project, appetizer, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds boneless beef chuck, pork shoulder, lamb shoulder or chicken (thigh) meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
5 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
1 large onion, peeled and quartered
2 dried guajillo chiles, seeds and stems removed
2 dried ancho chiles, seeds and stems removed
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne

Steps:

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine all the ingredients except the cayenne. Add water to cover, and bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that comes to the surface. Partly cover, and adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles steadily; cook until the meat is very tender, 1 to 2 hours
  • Transfer the meat to a bowl, and let it cool, then shred it with your fingers. Discard the bay leaves, and transfer the garlic, onion and chiles to a blender along with a splash of the cooking liquid. Blend until smooth. Add the sauce to the meat, and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding a little cayenne if you want it spicier; you may want to overseason the meat slightly if you're using it as a filling. Use, or store in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a few months.

BONELESS CHICKEN BREASTS WITH RED CHILI SAUCE



Boneless Chicken Breasts with Red Chili Sauce image

Categories     Chicken     Pepper     Poultry     Marinate     Sauté     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

For red chili sauce
4 dried New Mexico red chilies*, stemmed and seeded (wear rubber gloves)
1 small onion (about 1/4 pound), halved
3 large garlic cloves
2 tablespoons raisins
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
For chicken:
2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
2 large garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
four 5-ounce skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon coarsely grated Münster
*available at some specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Make red chili sauce:
  • In a saucepan simmer chilies, onion, and garlic in water to cover 20 minutes and with a slotted spoon transfer to a blender. Add 1/2 cup cooking liquid, raisins, and salt and blend until smooth. Sauce may be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Make chicken:
  • While chilies are simmering, in a bowl stir together yogurt, garlic paste, cumin, and salt to taste. Add chicken and coat with marinade. Marinate chicken, covered and chilled, at least 15 minutes and up to 1 day.
  • In a 10-inch non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chicken with marinade clinging to it, skinned sides down, and sauté 1 minute on each side, or until golden-brown patches appear.
  • Add chili sauce to skillet and bring to a simmer, uncovered, scraping up any brown bits. Transfer chicken mixture to a shallow baking pan just large enough to hold chicken in one layer and bake, covered, 15 minutes. Remove cover and sprinkle Münster over chicken. Remove pan from oven and let stand 1 minute to melt cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this recipe. They're lean and cook quickly, making them ideal for a weeknight meal.
  • Shred the chicken correctly: For tender, evenly shredded chicken, use two forks to pull the chicken apart. This will give you long, thin shreds that will hold their shape in the chili.
  • Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for black beans and corn, but you can use any beans you like. Pinto beans, kidney beans, or white beans would all be good choices.
  • Add some heat: If you like your chili spicy, add a diced jalapeño pepper or a teaspoon of chili powder to the pot. You can also top the chili with sour cream or shredded cheese to cool it down.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and diced avocado are all great toppings for red shredded chicken chili. Serve it with a side of cornbread or tortillas for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Red shredded chicken chili is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's packed with flavor and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy chili recipe, give this one a try!
