Hearty Chicken Chili

January 6, 2014 by Jodie 1 Comment

I actually made this recipe a few years ago. On the recipe I had written “OK”, so I didn’t make it again.  But for some reason this year I wanted to try it again but with several modifications.  I’m glad I gave it a  second shot, because now I really like it! My husband is the kind that actually eats and likes canned chili.  I just can’t get into that.  I prefer fresh and homemade chili. You know, all those things that imply ‘the really good stuff’. This is one recipe that we both like and is made even better with a little cheese and/or sour cream.

To suit the tastes in our house I cut the liquid and the tomatoes by half and left the rest the same.  And, the original recipe calls for ground turkey and a few times that I’ve made it recently (we’ve made this a couple times this winter) I used ground chicken and really liked it. The first time I had some leftover from something else and then the next time I had a few chicken breasts that either need to be used or frozen and I had just gotten a food processor for my birthday . . .

So, either way it is really good.  It’s just a simple recipe, thrown together in 30 minutes and you’ve got a warm, comforting bowl of chili for a cold winter’s day. And this chili would go really great with these rolls, or these biscuits.
