TEQUILA CHICKEN CHILI



Tequila Chicken Chili image

DH and I made this chili from Normal Kolpas' "The Chili Cookbook" and really enjoyed it. We served it over basmati rice. While the recipe calls for masa harina, I really didnt think the chili needed thickening (it was plenty thick) and in the last chili recipe I included it in, I thought it detracted from the flavor a little bit. Therefore, I omitted it in this one.

TEQUILA WHITE CHICKEN CHILI



Tequila White Chicken Chili image

I made this for our Halloween party and everyone commented on how great the chicken in it was. The secret is marinating it in tequilla and grilling it. My teenaged son and his friend enjoyed it (another surprised look from the friend when he said "it was good." It makes a lot of marinade, so I used the rest for fajitas!

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI FOR TWO



White Chicken Chili for Two image

This is one of our go-to recipes when it gets "cold" in Los Angeles (and by cold we mean like 50 or 60 degrees F). It's great to serve by itself or over rice, but we like to hollow out a large sourdough bread bowl to serve it in. It's a fun, comforting meal for the entire family.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2-inch-by-2-inch strips
1 slice bacon, finely diced
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
One 15.5-ounce can white beans, drained
1/4 cup canned green New Mexico chiles or roasted, peeled, seeded and chopped fresh chiles
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sourdough bowls, warmed, for serving (see Cook's Note), optional
Sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the spice mix: Combine the cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper and oregano in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • For the chili: Heat a medium pot or Dutch oven over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the oil. Add the chicken breast. Sear on all sides until browned but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the bacon to the same pot and cook, stirring, until rendered and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the spice mix and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the flour until it's mixed and forms a roux, about 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth, whisking until no lumps remain. Raise the heat to high and stir in the beans, roasted chiles, sugar and the cooked chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat until the mixture simmers. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chili is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the sour cream. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Ladle into the sourdough bowls if using. Serve garnished with scallions.
