Hearty Stovetop Chicken Chili With Beans

A steaming hot bowl of chili is a welcome sight whether it's a cold winter evening, or on a picnic or a camping trip. This chicken chili recipe was designed for stovetop but could be made very easily in a black iron pot over a campfire. It takes a while because of the simmering time but my experience with this recipe has been that it is well worth the wait.

If you are a beef lover you could easily substitute a pound of ground chuck roast or stew meat for this recipe.

Chicken Chili

This chili recipe makes a hearty one and it keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days.
Like many casserole dishes, stews and other dishes with lots of ingredients, they usually taste even better the next day. The refrigeration I think allows some of the flavors to come together.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
2 cups chopped tomatoes
2 cups tomato sauce
1 (24 ounce) can pinto or kidney beans
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 bay leaves
3 allspice berries
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

1 - Cook the onions, celery, and garlic in a skillet until softened.
2 - Remove and set aside.
3 - Sauté chicken breast pieces until cooked (2 - 3 minutes)
4 - Add back the onions, celery and garlic.
5 - Add the remainder of the ingredients and simmer for 1 hour.

Ivory Coast Fried Plantains in Chile and Red Palm Oil Sauce - Spicy Favorite of West African Cooking

In small roadside restaurants in the Ivory Coast of West Africa, a dish called aloco is very popular. Plantains are fried in a hot pan of red palm oil and seasoned with onions, tomatoes, and hot chiles. It is usually then served with grilled fish.

Try to find red palm oil (either in an international grocery or market, or online) for this fried plantains recipe. Red palm oil is what makes West Africa food taste West African. But if that is not possible, you can use peanut oil. It will not have the authentic flavor or color, but will still be very tasty.

Chicken Chili

The plantains needed for this recipe must be ripe, with their skins being nearly black in color. You can buy unripe plantains and leave them out. They will be black in about a week, so plan ahead when cooking this dish.

Ingredients:

1 cup red palm oil (or 1 cup peanut oil mixed with red paprika)

3 ripe plantains, peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick

Salt to taste

2 large ripe tomatoes (about 1 pound), peeled, seeded, and chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

3 fresh red cherry chiles, or 2 habanero chiles, chopped fine

1 tablespoon white vinegar

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat the red palm oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Salt the plantain slices and fry in 2 or 3 batches (do not overcrowd the pan) until a golden brown color on both sides (about 4 to 5 minutes total per batch). Remove from the oil and place on paper towels for draining.

Add the tomatoes, onion, and chile peppers to the skillet with the oil you used to cook the plantains, and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce is thick and chunky, or about 50 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the vinegar.

Arrange the fried plantains on a serving platter and pour the sauce over them. Serve immediately. This plantains recipe makes 4 to 6 servings.

Chicken Chili Recipes - 5 Tips to Making Great Chicken Chili

In this article we are going to look at five simple, yet effective tips to making great chicken chili recipes. These tips apply to making chicken chili or any chili recipe and will greatly enhance the experience of the dish. So when preparing your chili recipe take these tips into account.

Tip 1. Plan on cooking your chili at least one day ahead of time as this give all the ingredients time to marry or meld together. This works especially well if you allow the chili to cool until you can handle it safely before refrigerating it.

Tip 2. Decide how much of all your ingredients you will need as to how many people you will be serving and then take an estimate of how many servings each person can eat.

Tip 3. You can use any part of the chicken that you want, but whole or split breasts are the best as they are lean and have the best flavor. Make sure that you take the skin off if you have bought them with the skin on as we do not want all of that excess fat in our chicken chili recipe as we want this dish to be filling and healthy!

Tip 4. You can save the chicken skin if you bought chicken breast or leg quarters for this recipe. Just peel of the skin and put in a zip lock bag for other uses down the line. ( I know what you are thinking. Trust me on this one. Chicken skin can come in handy for many other recipes so keep them!)

Tip 5. If using a tomato based chili recipe, many recipes call for using canned whole peeled tomatoes in puree'. That is fine, but in the interest of adding some fine dining panache to the dish I suggest learning how to par boil fresh tomatoes and then peeling them for use in this or any recipe that calls for either whole or peeled or diced/cubed tomatoes. You may even want to learn how to fire roast fresh tomatoes on your grill and this adds wonderful flavor to the tomatoes and any dish you use them in! Either way, learning how to par boil and/or fire roast your tomatoes is a good kitchen skill to have and the fresher the ingredients the better the food!
