Game Day Chicken Chili
Just in time for the big game! A lighter side of chili made with chicken thighs instead of ground meat.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 14 oz cans of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 14 oz cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 28 oz cans diced fire roasted tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small, sweet onion diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 1 large poblano or green pepper, seeded and diced
- 1½ cups water
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp chipotle pepper powder If you can't find these peppers, use regular chili powder (2T) and omit the oregano. Chili powder has garlic so I cannot use it.
- 1 tsp habanero pepper powder
- 1 tsp ancho pepper powder
Instructions
- Saute onions and peppers in a large pot in olive oil until almost done.
- Add chicken pieces and 1 tsp of smoked paprika. Stir and cook until done.
- Add all other ingredients and simmer slowly on moderately low heat until thick. 2-3 hours. Chicken should be falling apart.
