So I was effin' around in the kitchen again (it's a hobby, what can I say), and had some leftover chicken from a roaster we did in the freezer and thought I'd try to make a chili out of it. I read 5-6 different recipes before I came up with this. Was pretty damn good and made a nice sized pot. Good use of leftovers too. Spice it up more by adding a second jalapeno and/or not seeding the peppers.
Chicken Chili
½ cup red onion, diced
1 celery stalk, diced fine
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 fresh jalapeño, seeded and diced fine
2 pablano peppers, seeded and diced
3 T olive oil
1 15-oz can, diced fire-roasted tomatoes (Hunts sells these)
3.5-4 cups chicken stock (I had 2c homemade and a 14oz can)
1 can pinto beans with jalapeno, drained
1 can white beans, drained
3 t dried cilantro
½ t coriander
1 t chili powder
1 t cumin
2 t salt
3 cups shredded chicken, leftover roaster works great
juice of ½ lime
Cook vegetables in olive oil with 1 t salt until tender. Add rest of ingredients except chicken and lime juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer ½ hour uncovered. Add chicken and lime juice and heat through. Adjust seasoning as required. Serve with cheese, fresh cilantro and sour cream (plain greek yogurt makes a good lowfat substitute if you care) as desired.
