Salt and black pepper
5 1/2 cup chicken stock
2 pound chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces
1 large onion, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped

1 1/2 tablespoon chili powder

2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
10 ounce box frozen corn kernels
2 oranges
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • - To make the rice, heat a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. - Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, once around the pan, then add the rice; stir to coat the rice in the oil and toast lightly, for about 1 minute. - Season with salt and pepper, than add 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock and bring to a bubble. - Cover the pot, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until the rice is tender. - To make the chili, preheat a medium soup pot over medium-high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. - Add the chunked up chicken pieces and season with the salt and pepper. - Brown the chikcen on all sides for about 3 to 4 minutes. - Remove the chicken from the pot to a plate and reserve. - Add a little drizzle of oil to the pot and add the onions, garlic, three fourths of the chopped jalapeno, and the bell peppers. - Season with the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. - Dust the vegetables liberally with the flour and continue to cook for 1 minute. - Stir in the remaining 3 cups of the chicken stock to the vegetables, bring up to a bubble, and then stir in the corn and add the chicken back to the pot. - Turn the heat down to medium low and summer gently for 10 minutes. - While the chili is simmering, make the spicy citrus salsa. - With a paring knife, cut the peel and pith from the oranges. - Cut the peeled oranges into disks and then cut the disks into quarters. - Toss the oranges in a small mixing bowl with the remaining jalapeno, the lime zest, a little salt and pepper and about 1 tablespoon of the chopped cilantro. - Stir to combine. - Once the chili has simmered for 10 minutes, turn off the heat and add the lime juice, the remaining cilantro, and the chopped parsley. - Taste and check for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed. - If you want a little more heat, add a couple of dashes of hot sauce. - Fluff the tender rice with a fork and then divide it among 4 serving bowls. - Top each portion of rice with some of the chili and garnish with a heaping spoonful of the spicy citrus salsa.

I thought the chili was a bit too bland. I would have preferred a spicier chili.

The chili was a bit too thick for my taste. I would have preferred a thinner chili.

The chicken was a bit dry in this chili. I would recommend using a different cut of chicken or cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I will use less cayenne pepper.

I thought the citrus salsa was too overpowering for the chili. I would recommend using a different salsa or omitting it altogether.
