Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 jalapeno chile, halved (seeded if desired)
1 white onion, peeled and halved
4 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup chili powder
Salt
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped
1 3/4 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler, with rack 3 inches from heat source. Arrange tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, and garlic, cut side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until starting to char, about 5 minutes. Pulse tomatoes and jalapeno in a blender or a food processor until chunky. Chop onion and mince garlic.
  • Heat a large heavy skillet (preferably enamel cast-iron) over medium-high heat. Add oil. Working in batches, brown chicken in a single layer, allowing to sear before stirring, 5 to 6 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic to skillet. Cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Add chili powder and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in chipotles, and add chicken. Raise heat to high. Add tomato-jalapeno mixture. Cook, scraping up browned bits, until fully incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in stock; simmer for 20 minutes. Add beans; simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.

This chili is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and paprika.

This chili is very easy to make, and it's a great way to feed a crowd. I made a double batch and froze half of it for later.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added a can of black beans and a can of corn for extra protein and veggies.

I made this chili in my slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the broth was rich and flavorful. I served it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.

This chili is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chipotle peppers next time.

This chili is delicious! I love the smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers. I also added a can of corn and a chopped bell pepper for extra veggies.

This chili is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I usually serve it with cornbread or a side salad.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken chili, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the broth is rich and flavorful. I also love the addition of sweet potatoes, which add a touch of sweetness and heartiness.
