Provided by Lindsay

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

4-5 strips of bacon
1-2 jalapeños, ribs and seeds removed
half of a yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 cups chicken broth
two 14-ounce cans diced tomatoes with green chiles (with juices!)
1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (you can also use chicken breasts - I like it both ways)
one 14-ounce can pinto beans
one 14-ounce can black beans
8 ounces cream cheese

Steps:

  • Food processor prep: Pulse the bacon through the food processor until it looks like a chunky paste. Remove bacon and do the same with the onion, garlic, and jalapeño.
  • Cook bacon and veggies: Add the bacon to a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the bacon starts heating up, add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño mix so it all cooks together.
  • Build the soup: Add spices, broth, and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cook chicken: Add chicken. Bring to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove, cool, and shred.
  • Tie it all up: Stir in the shredded chicken, beans, and cream cheese. The chili will be THICK, especially as it cools. It's almost like a dip because, yes, we are monsters. Thin it out with water as you like!
  • Top and serve: Serve with every good thing under the sun, but mostly tortilla chips, cilantro, green onion, and cheese.

SARAH'S BEST CHILI RECIPE



Sarah's Best Chili Recipe image

This recipe has more flavor than I thought it would, and it's meant to be devoured. I've been creating recipes left and right for the crockpot, and found a winner for the chili department. When browning the meat, make sure it's barely brown so it doesn't turn to cardboard tasting when it's done in the crockpot. Drain cans of beans for a thicker chili.
