The post We Tried Ina Garten’s Chicken Chili, and We May Never Go Back to Beef appeared first on Taste Recipes.

When you want a classic, hearty chili recipe, something like Joanna Gaines’ chili may come to mind. However, if you’re looking to lighten things up and try a chili recipe that’s a little nontraditional, may we suggest you head to the Hamptons and cozy up to a bowl of Ina Garten chicken chili? Or, at least, pretend your kitchen is in the Hamptons for now.

Like our other unique chili recipes, this one veers from the typical kidney beans and ground beef. Instead, Ina’s version is loaded with tender roasted chicken, studded with bountiful amounts of red and yellow bell peppers and bathed in a rich tomato base. This chili is perfect for those wanting to cut back on red meat and are on team “no beans” when it comes to making chili from scratch.

With Ina Garten’s track record for delicious recipes (hello, beef bourguignon), we couldn’t resist putting her recipe to the test.

Ina Garten’s Chicken Chili Recipe

This recipe makes six servings.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chopped yellow onions (about 3 medium onions)
  • 1/8 cup good olive oil, plus extra for chicken
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded and large-diced
  • 2 yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded and large-diced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for chicken
  • 2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled plum tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves
  • 4 split chicken breasts, bone-in, skin on
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • For serving: chopped onions, tortilla chips, grated cheddar or sour cream

Directions

Step 1: Saute and season

In a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-low heat, cook the onions for 10 to 15 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for one additional minute, then toss in the bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, cayenne and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 2: Add the tomatoes

Next, in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse the tomatoes six to eight times, so a few chunks remain (you may also crush the tomatoes by hand). Add them to the pot along with the basil. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Editor’s Tip: Believe it or not, not all canned tomatoes are created equal. For the best Ina Garten chicken chili ever (and the best Ina Garten lasagna), splurge on some high-quality canned tomatoes. The chili will turn out richer, thicker and more flavorful.

Step 3: Roast the chicken

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and place them on a sheet pan. Season generously with salt and pepper, then roast the chicken breasts until just cooked (about 35 to 40 minutes). Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Editor’s Tip: This is one instance where you don’t have to cook the chicken completely to 165° since it will finish cooking in the soup.

Step 4: Chop and combine

Remove the chicken meat from the bones and skin and roughly cut it into bite-sized chunks. Stir the chicken into the chili and continue to simmer, uncovered, for an additional 20 minutes. Serve hot with the toppings of your choice, and enjoy!

Here’s What We Thought

What a crowd-pleasing recipe! Ina Garten chicken chili is hearty without being heavy and subtly spiced, so it will even please those at your table who prefer a mild chili recipe. While it may not be traditional chili, this recipe will have its own spot in our recipe rotation all season long.

Tips for Making the Ina Garten Chicken Chili Recipe

While this Ina Garten chicken chili recipe is delicious as is, it is also super adaptable to modifications. Here are just a few options for substitutions:

  • Quicker chicken: If you’re in a pinch for time, you can prepare the chicken in a few different ways that are both faster and equally flavorful. One option is to poach boneless skinless chicken breasts, which only take around 15 minutes to cook. Alternatively, you could opt for a store-bought rotisserie chicken and shred the light and dark meat into the soup during the final step.
  • Spicier chili: If you’re someone who wants a little fire in their bowl of chili, you can play around with the spiciness of this recipe very easily. Try swapping two of the bell peppers for poblano peppers, or amp up the heat further by tossing in a diced jalapeno pepper or chopped chipotle chili in adobo sauce to the pot. A few extra teaspoons of chili pepper or cayenne pepper is also a great way to add some additional kick.
  • Add beans: While this recipe leans toward a Texas-style chili without beans, if you prefer a chicken chili with beans, you could certainly add them to this recipe. Pinto, kidney or black beans would all be fantastic in this recipe.

Buffalo Chicken Chili https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/buffalo-chicken-chili/ Tue, 14 Dec 2021 11:15:05 +0000 https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/buffalo-chicken-chili/

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15-1/2 ounces) navy beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed and softened
  • Optional toppings: Crumbled blue cheese, chopped celery and chopped green onions

Directions

  1. In a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 7 ingredients. Add chicken. Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours or until chicken is tender.
  2. Remove chicken; shred with 2 forks. Return to slow cooker. Stir in cream cheese. Cover and cook on low until cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Stir until blended. Serve with toppings as desired.

Slow-Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili Tips

How do you store Buffalo chicken chili?

To store Buffalo chicken chili, first let it cool to room temperature. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator—it’ll keep for 3-4 days. Note: Leftovers won’t freeze well due to the cream cheese, which can curdle when frozen.

Can you make Buffalo chicken chili ahead of time?

Leftovers likely won’t freeze well, but you can make this Buffalo chicken chili (and most other chili recipes!) as a freezer meal with some forethought. Follow the directions through shredding the chicken, then cool the chili and freeze it in airtight containers (leave at least 1/4 inch of headspace to allow the liquid to expand). To use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. Add the cream cheese and let it melt in as directed.

Can you make your own Buffalo wing sauce for Buffalo chicken chili?

In the Taste Recipes Test Kitchen, we love all types of hot sauce. For this recipe, we used Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wings Hot Sauce—it’s a high-quality, tasty sauce that is widely available. But if you have a recipe for homemade Buffalo wing sauce that you love, you can absolutely use it to make Buffalo chicken chili. Big Buffalo fans, you’ll want to check out these 30+ saucy superstars.

Pressure-Cooker Jalapeno Popper Chicken Chili https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/pressure-cooker-jalapeno-popper-chicken-chili/ Sat, 29 Feb 2020 07:01:52 +0000 http://origin-www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/pressure-cooker-jalapeno-popper-chicken-chili/

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 to 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, undrained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons ranch salad dressing mix
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and crumbled cooked bacon

Directions

  1. Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker and adjust for medium heat; add butter. When butter is hot, add the chicken, onion, jalapenos and garlic; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, 6-8 minutes, breaking up chicken into crumbles. Stir in corn, beans, diced tomatoes and chiles, cream cheese, water, dressing mix and seasonings. Press cancel.
  2. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 8 minutes. Quick-release pressure. Stir before serving. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, bacon and additional jalapenos.

Test Kitchen tips
  • To prepare this in a slow cooker meal, combine all ingredients in a 6-qt. slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours.
  • You can swap out ground chicken for boneless skinless chicken breasts. Add them to the pot after you saute the veggies and proceed with the recipe. Shred the chicken after cooking.
  • Leftover chili freezes beautifully. Store up to 6 months in the freezer in air-tight containers.
  • Peppers (Hot)

    Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

    • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
    • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles
    • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

    White Bean Chicken Chili Tips

    How else can you cook white bean chicken chili?

    This white bean chicken chili is made in the slow cooker, which is a common preparation method for chili because of its convenience. However, making chili on the stovetop is just as easy. This white chicken chili recipe would be a good example of how to cook chili on the stove if you want an example, but you can always look through more our white chicken chili recipes for more guidance.

    How can you make white bean chicken chili your own?

    For a shortcut version of this white bean chicken chili recipe, try using rotisserie chicken instead of sauteing the chicken yourself. Some additional mix-in ideas include corn, or roasted jalapenos and a can of green chiles for some spice. The toppings you pick are a great way to make your chili your own, too—think corn chips, lime wedges or shredded cheese.

    How should you store white bean chicken chili?

    Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. White bean chicken chili also freezes well for up to 6 months.

    White Chicken Chili Tips

    How do you make white chicken chili taste even better?

    If you’re looking to enhance the chili's flavor, try adding 1 teaspoon of granulated chicken bouillon to give the broth additional richness (if you're feeling adventurous, try making your own homemade broth!). Not only will using cooked rotisserie chicken save time, it will also add a great blend of flavors and saltiness. For added creaminess, add a dollop of sour cream on each serving.

    Can you freeze white chicken chili?

    Yes, you can freeze white chicken chili! Chili is a great dish to make ahead and freeze. We recommend storing it in freezer containers. (Learn how to properly store and freeze chili so that it stays fresh and delicious.) When you're ready to use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add broth or water if necessary.

    What sides go well with white chicken chili?

    Make this chili the perfect meal by pairing it with our favorite Mexican cornbread or any of our other cornbread recipes. Or add a refreshing side salad in the mix like our guacamole tossed salad.

    Slow-Cooker White Chicken Chili Tips

    How do you thicken slow-cooker white chicken chili?

    This chili is plenty thick, so you likely won’t need to adjust it. But one of our favorite culinary school cooking tips for thickening soups is to mash one of the cans of beans before stirring it in. This is a flavorful and low-fat way to give more body to soup. Some home cooks also have enjoyed this chili thickened with a bit of mashed potato flakes.

    Can you make slow-cooker white chicken chili on the stovetop?

    You can make this hearty chili on the stovetop in less time with a few simple changes. First, saute the yellow pepper and onion in 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the Alfredo sauce, broth, beans, corn, green chiles and seasoning. Simmer until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are blended. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the chicken, cheeses and sour cream. Cook and stir until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.

    What are some variations of slow-cooker white chicken chili?

    There are so many chili recipes to pull inspiration from. To mix up this slow-cooker white chicken chili, try using different types of beans instead of exclusively white beans. To healthfully stretch the soup, use one each of red, green and yellow bell peppers. Use a can of drained hominy instead of corn. To help bring the heat, add more green chiles and use only pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey Jack. Conversely, you can tame the spice level by stirring a bit of sour cream into each serving.

    What are some toppings that you can put on slow-cooker white chicken chili?

    In addition to the salsa verde and fresh cilantro, other must-try toppings include a dollop of sour cream or guacamole, crushed tortilla chips, cornbread crackers, cubed avocado, salsa and pico de gallo. You might also try squeezing a lime wedge over your bowl of chili before serving to add a bright, fresh flavor. And don't forget a buttery cornbread recipe to serve on the side!

    How do you store slow-cooker white chicken chili?

    Cool chili completely, then cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. You also may freeze this chili for future meals. Simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat in a saucepan, stirring occasionally.
