Hawaiian Chicken Chili image

Another great recipe from my Aunt Toni. Unusual but wonderfully tasty as was proved this Fall when my DH and I won a chili cook-off with it. Hope you enjoy it as well.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 large pot of chili, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (20 ounce) can chunk pineapple, drained and juice reserved
8 -12 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
2 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 large bell pepper, diced
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans
1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes, undrained
1 (24 ounce) jar pace mild-medium picante sauce (or your favorite salsa- I use my homemade stuff)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • In large pot or dutch oven, melt butter and sauté chicken* until almost cooked through.
  • Add garlic, onion and bell pepper and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Add reserved pineapple juice and all other ingredients- EXCEPT- for the pineapple chunks.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat, stir in pineapple and serve immediately- OR, WHAT I LIKE TO DO- remove from heat allow to cool, cover and refrigerate over night.
  • Next day, reheat on stove top, stir in pineapple and serve.
  • *Note about chicken: recipe originally calls for 12 chicken breasts.
  • I found this a bit excessive and so tweaked the measurement.
  • I find 7-8 breasts works for me.
  • I guess it depends on how well endowed your chickens were.
  • Judge accordingly.
