CHIARELLO CHICKEN AND WHITE BEAN CHILI WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large bowl. Season liberally with pepper and grey salt. Toss with fennel seed and smoked paprika. Sprinkle the masa harina or flour over the chicken and toss to coat.
• Heat a cast iron pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, when it begins to smoke, add the chicken, leaving the excess flour or masa harina in the bowl. Spreading the chicken evenly so it covers the bottom of the pot in 1 layer. (You may have to cook the chicken in batches to do this, adding more olive oil as necessary.)
• Leave the chicken alone, without turning it, so the meat will brown and caramelize, about 5 minutes per side. The chicken has a lot of moisture in it, so a good amount of steam will come from the pan before it is caramelized. As it browns, turn each piece with tongs. Once all sides are caramelized, remove the meat from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving juices in the pot.
• Over medium heat, add another 1/4 cup of olive oil to pan along with the onions and garlic, cook until onions soften and caramelize, about 5 minutes. Add the jalapenos, cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chili powder and thyme, stir to combine. Add wine, bring to a simmer, then add the chicken stock, diced tomatoes and cooked chicken. Stir to incorporate everything, season with salt. Simmer until chicken is wonderfully tender, about 45 minutes.
• Add the white beans, zucchini, poblano, red pepper and scallions. Bring to a simmer and cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in basil. Serve immediately or cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To serve, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil.

WHITE BEAN AND CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breasts. Add oil (I personally prefer to use peanut oil, but olive oil works just fine and doesn't make much of a difference) to large pot and heat on medium. Cook chicken breasts 4-5 min on each side.
• While the chicken is cooking take the time to dice the onion and the garlic (or do it before if you prefer). After chicken breasts have cooked remove them and put the onion and garlic in the pot to cook for 5-6 minute.
• Cut the chicken breasts into 1/2 inch to 1 inch cubes depending on how big you would like them. The chicken may not be cooked all the way through yet, this is fine and it will finish cooking later.
• After the onions and garlic have cooked I like to add the 2 cans of green chilies and cook for a minute. Then add the chicken broth and the cream of mushroom soup (you could use cream of chicken or celery also). Stir well.
• Drain and rinse the cans of beans and add those to the pot. Add the cubed chicken as well.
• Stir in the cumin and cayenne. When the chili gets to a boil turn the heat down and simmer on low for about 30 minutes.
• Salt and pepper to taste and then serve topped with your choice of shredded cheese (the cheddar and Monterey jack is my favorite). Top with sour cream, chopped green onion and/or crackers if you wish.
