Chili is the perfect party food. Just keep a pot of it warm on the stove, put out the fixings, and let everyone help themselves.
Ingredients
Serves 6
Step 1
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high flame. Add the chicken pieces and sauté for 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 2
2. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the onion to the pan, and sauté over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute more. Add the chilis, salsa, chicken broth, cumin, and oregano, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 3
3. Add the chicken and beans, and cook for 5 minutes more. Stir in the lime juice, then season with salt to taste. Serve topped with cilantro, yogurt, and cheese.

Back to TopThis was good and I would make it again, but it wasn't memorable. My family was lukewarm about it. However, I did substitute Mexican seasoned soy crumble for the chicken to make it vegetarian. Maybe it is a lot better with the chicken.

Great recipe! Made this twice now, using different salsa's each time. Love how tangy it is. This will be a staple now.

I gave this four forks because it was easy, low-fat and so delicious; my whole family loved it. I used ground chicken and since I couldn't find a tomatillo salsa, I used Frontera's spicy guacamole mix. Fortunately, I only had about 2 tablespoons left--it was enough to give it quite a kick. This is easy enough for a week night meal and good enough to serve to guests. Will definitely make it again!

Excellent change from our usual white chili which is loaded with cream. I used leftover chopped roast chicken, 1 can of mild and 1 can of hot green chilis, and 1 tablespoon of minced fresh jalapeño. Did not have fresh cilantro so I added scant 1/2 teaspoon dry with other herbs. Used cannellini beans. Served with cornbread. Did not miss the cream. Best comment... "You finally found a way to use up leftover roast chicken."!

Made this recipe twice in one week. First for family, then a for potluck. I swapped ground chick meat for breast. and added a can of cream of chicken soup to thicken.First time used jalapeno pepper. It's spicy w/o being too hot. Second batch used one habreno pepper, spicier (hotter). I prefer the first way, husband the later. Either way everyone loved the chili. Will definitely make this chili again.

I loved this recipe however, I did change several things...so I guess it is not fair to say that I USED the recipe. Here are the changes. I added a large can of white hominy, used double the tomatillo sauce, used dried cilantro, added more cheese and used sour cream instead of the yogurt.

Great meal. My entire family liked it, which is a rare occurrence. I substituted a rotisserie chicken, shredded the meat and added a bit more broth.

Made this last weekend and it's so good the husband asked for a repeat again this weekend! I ended up adding a about 1.5 extra cups of chicken broth and amping up the spices a bit to compensate. I didn't cover the pot while it simmered and it ended up losing a lot of liquid. Didn't have tomatillo salsa, so mixed 1/2 green salsa and 1/2 green taco sauce since that's what we had. I shredded the chicken after it was cooked instead of leaving it in cubes, because we prefer that. Also, I used a hand blender at the end to thicken it up a bit (less than 10 seconds to preserve some of the chunks.) All in all, it was really yummy. Serving to guests next time!

Recipe could be improved by seasoning chicken before cooking. I also subbed green, jalepeno salsa for the tomatillo salsa -- gave it a little more kick.

My boyfriend and I loved this! It had an incredible flavor (which may have had to do with the great tomatillo salsa I used) and was simple to put together. This will be great to make in the winter.
