Chunky Bean and Chicken Chili
Ingredients
  • 3
    cups tortilla chips
  • 1
    pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut in bite-size pieces
  • 2
    teaspoons cooking oil
  • 2
    19 ounce cans cannelini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 6
    ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers (1-1/2 cups)
  • 1
    4 1/2 ounce can diced green chilies
  • 1
    14 ounce can reduced sodium chicken broth
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions

1. Preheat broiler. Coarsely crush 2 cups of the chips.

2. In 4- to 5- quart Dutch oven brown chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat. Add beans, 1 cup of the cheese, the chilies, broth, 1/2 cup water; and crushed chips. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Meanwhile, for tortilla crisps, place remaining 1 cup chips on baking sheet lined with nonstick foil. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Broil 6 inches from heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until cheese is melted and begins to brown. Serve chili with tortilla crisps. Sprinkle cilantro. Makes 4 servings.

A very pleasantly spiced chili with black beans that I substituted for cannelini beans with some melted cheese and corn chips alongside made it a very nice meal for the weekend

I felt there was not enough flavor. I added a frozen mix of diced onions, and red and green bell peppers.

Delicious! I shredded a rotisserie chicken and added oregano to the recipe which brought in more flavor. Also we topped our chili with some hot sauce and fresh avocado - yum!
