Chicken Thigh Chili

Chicken Thigh Chili

The basis of this came from a chicken-chili soup on this site. I altered it enough (I didn’t want a soup) that I couldn’t rate the original and decided to share this recipe. Top with sour cream, sliced green onion, and shredded cheese.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium orange bell pepper, diced
  • ½ (6 ounce) can tomato paste, or more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2
Add diced tomatoes, all beans, corn, bell peppers, 3 ounces tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix well. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding more tomato paste as needed to thicken, until peppers have softened, about 30 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

You can use smoked chipotle pepper in place of cayenne, if preferred.
