Time 2h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
1 large onion, diced
1 jalapeño, seeds removed for less heat if desired, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cooked chicken breasts, such as from rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 cup salsa verde
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

CHICKEN GREEN CHILI

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 chicken, about 3 1/2 pounds
1 large onion, peeled
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 bunch fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
4 poblano chiles
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup finely ground tortilla chips (ground in a food processor)
Salt
Leaves from 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Smoky Chile Cornbread, recipe follows
Shredded Jack cheese
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges
4 strips bacon, chopped
2 cups cornmeal, white or yellow
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
4 eggs
2 cups milk
1 canned chipotle chile, drained, stemmed, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, optional

Steps:

  • Remove the giblets from the chicken. Discard the liver (it makes the broth bitter) and hold onto everything else. Rinse the chicken with cool water. Put the chicken, onion, and giblets in a large stockpot. Pour in enough cold water just to cover by 1 inch (about 3 quarts). Toss in the garlic and herbs and allow the water to slowly come to a boil over medium heat. Skim off the foam then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1 hour, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through. Skim any impurities that rise to the surface; add more water if necessary to keep the chicken covered.
  • Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board and let it cool. With a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables, giblets, thyme and bay leaf from the pot and discard. Reserve chicken broth. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones; shred the meat by hand.
  • Meanwhile, seed, core, and thinly slice the poblano peppers.
  • Heat a 2-count of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Dust the vegetables with the ground cumin, coriander, and oregano, and stir; cook 1 minute. Stir in the ground tortillas. Pour in the reserved chicken broth, season with salt and cook 20 minutes. Now add the shredded chicken and chiles, and the cilantro and cook 5 more minutes. Taste for seasoning.
  • To serve, ladle the chili into big bowls and garnish with grated cheese, cilantro, and a wedge of lime. Serve with the Smoky Chile Cornbread.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the bacon into a cold 10-inch cast iron pan and cook over medium heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon bits are crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Keep the bacon fat in the pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl beat the eggs with a whisk until foamy; whisk in the milk. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the bacon bits, chile, and chives. Pour the batter into the cast iron pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 stick butter, divided
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup red pepper, diced
1/4 cup green pepper, diced
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin

2 (4-ounce) cans mild green chiles
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces until nicely colored and cooked through. Remove chicken to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Using the same Dutch oven, stir in the flour. This will create a roux. Stir in the onions and peppers. Add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan and stir in the heavy cream.

CHEF JOHN'S GREEN CHICKEN CHILI



Chef John's Green Chicken Chili image

Make this easier version of chili verde using chicken and a tomatillo-based green salsa instead of roasting and pureeing fresh tomatillos. Note that this is a green chili made with chicken and not a chili made with green chicken. Sorry if this disappoints anyone. You can serve it with sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and corn tortillas or corn bread.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
kosher salt to taste
1 (24 fluid ounce) bottle tomatillo-based salsa verde
½ (4 ounce) can chopped roasted green chiles
3 cloves garlic
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced
½ cup lightly packed cilantro leaves and stems

Steps:

  • Season chicken thighs with salt on both sides.

  • Combine salsa verde, green chilies, garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro in a blender. Blend, starting on low and finishing on high, until sauce is very smooth and bright green.
  • Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and transfer back into the bowl. Combine chicken pieces, accumulated juices, and the green sauce into a pot. Season with cumin, chipotle pepper, black pepper, oregano, and salt.
  • Rinse out blender with a splash of water and pour into the pot. Mix together and set heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium-low.

WHITE LIGHTNING CHILI



White Lightning Chili image

This recipe's from my distant cousin. She made this during our family reunion. This is a tweaked version that has some meaty pinto beans and some chipotle chili powder running through it to give it some nice smokiness. Don't worry about the amount of spices. It may seem like a lot, but in the end, it's really not. Preparation time does not include the time you cook the chicken.
