Best-Ever Chicken Chilli
This is my favourite chilli recipe. We love it so much, I make it at least once every two weeks. It's lighter than your average chilli, as it contains chicken instead of beef.
Ingredients
Serves: 8
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 450g skinless, boneless chicken meat, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 (400g) tins chopped tomatoes
- 2 (410g) tins red kidney beans, drained, liquid reserved
- 2 onions, chopped
- 3 potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 3 tablespoons chilli powder
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 115g sweetcorn kernels

made this recipe exactly as described. It is a simple dish but tasty never the less - 26 Dec 2010
I gave this chili 3 stars because I like the concept of it. I like the chicken and corn and it makes a very hearty chili. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars, though, is because it is EXTREMELY spicy. My husband and I had to add 2 or 3 dollops of sour cream to our bowls because it was just too much. I think the tbsp. of pepper is a mis-print, because my mom said in all her 50 years of cooking, she has never seen a recipe that calls for that much pepper! Next time I make this I will SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the amount of pepper and probably the chili powder as well. - 17 Oct 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I've never made chili before, and this recipe turned out great. I'm not a fan of beans so I omitted them. And to replace the bean liquid, I put a can of chicken broth in instead. To replace the beans, I just put in more potato and chicken. I also added a tsp. garlic salt, a tsp. of paprika, and a little more chili powder. It's got quite a kick and tastes great with corn bread. - 01 Aug 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
