Chipotle Chicken Chili Recipes

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Fry the onion and garlic in the oil in a deep, wide frying pan until soft. Add the chipotle paste (use 1 tbsp for a mild flavour and 2 tbsp for a hotter, stronger one). Stir and cook for 1 min, then add the tomatoes and cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins with the lid half on. Stir to make sure it doesn't get too dry.
• Add the chicken and cook for 10 mins or until cooked through, turning once. Scatter with coriander and serve with rice and soured cream.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat then add the onions and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until onions soften. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned. Add 3/4 of the beer, reserving the rest, then cook for a couple of minutes to reduce. Add the tomatoes, chipotles, beans, chili powder, cumin and salt. Stir to combine, then cover the pot and cook for 1 hour. Combine the masa harina with the rest of the beer and stir to make a paste. Add this into the chili, along with the lime juice. Stir and cook for 10 more minutes or until thick. Serve with sour cream, cheese, cilantro, and another squeeze of lime!

SLOW COOKER CHIPOTLE CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Open the cans of beans. Drain all liquid from the cans and give the beans and pour them into a colander. Give them a rinse and set aside.
• Peel sweet potato and chop into ½-inch pieces.
• Place all ingredients (except the lime juice and cilantro) into a slow cooker. Set slow cooker on low and the cooking time to 8 hours.
• When you are ready to eat the chili, scoop out the chicken breast. Using a fork, shred the meat. Add the meat back to the chili again and stir.
• Serve in bowls and top with cilantro if you like. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container.

SLOW COOKER CHIPOTLE CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Place chicken in a medium pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• While the chicken is cooking, place diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, chile peppers, onions, chipotle peppers, garlic, and lime juice in a 6-quart slow cooker.
• Drain and cool chicken until easily handled. Shred chicken. Add to the slow cooker; stir to combine.
• Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN CHILI - SPICY

Steps:

• In a soup pot, add celery, onion, red peppers, canned tomatoes, chicken broth, tomato paste, pureed chipotle chili (puree in blender with the adobo sauce. It might work better if you add some of the chicken broth), chili powder and cumin. Cook at a low boil for an hour or so.
• Puree half a can of dark red kidney beans in a blender or food processor and add to the soup pot. Add the remaining 1 ½ cans of kidney beans, red beans and black beans to the pot. Simmer for at least 2 hours.
• If it is not "hot" enough add as much Tabasco sauce as you need to achieve the "heat" you desire.
• If you are making it a day ahead (If you do the flavors will blend well), turn off the heat and add the chicken. (It works well to use an already cooked rotisserie chicken.) After it cools, refrigerate. When you are ready to serve, heat to boiling. (You don't want to cook it for very long after you add the chicken to avoid having the chicken fall apart.).
• If you plan to serve it right away, add the chicken 15 or twenty minutes before serving and heat to boiling.
• Optional: Serve with grated cheese, cilantro, sliced green onions and sour cream as toppings.
