Description
This comforting weeknight chili recipe takes advantage of quick-cooking ground chicken, for speed, and ancho chile powder, which brings deep, smoky flavor. Caramelized tomato paste adds savory depth, plus a touch of acidity to brighten the rich sauce. Meaty kidney beans simmer alongside until they break down a little, thickening the stew. Enjoy the chili on its own, perhaps paired with crusty bread, or turn your meal into a more festive affair with a tasty toppings bar to customize as you like.
Ingredients
(one per line)
1/4cup extra-virgin olive oil 1cup finely chopped white onion 1cup finely chopped green bell pepper Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and pepper 2tablespoons tomato paste 3garlic cloves, minced 1tablespoon ancho or chipotle chile powder (or a mix) 1/2teaspoon dried oregano 1pound ground chicken (preferably dark meat) 2cups low-sodium chicken broth 2(15-ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed Optional toppings: any combination of chopped cilantro, sour cream, chopped avocado, grated Cheddar and lime wedges
Directions
In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add tomato paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, chile powder, oregano and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add broth and beans and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to lift up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is tender and flavors have melded, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide chili among bowls and finish with any of the toppings. Serve with lime wedges.
