RECIPE BY Southern Living

Save time by making this chicken chili with smoked chicken from your favorite barbecue restaurant, or use a barbecue-flavored rotisserie chicken from your local supermarket.

Ingredients

  • 2 poblano chile peppers, chopped
  • 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium-size sweet onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 (14 1/2-oz.) cans zesty chili-style diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups shredded or chopped smoked chicken (about 1 lb.)
  • 1 (16-oz.) can navy beans
  • 1 (15-oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (12-oz.) can beer*
  • 1 (1.25-oz.) envelope white chicken chili seasoning mix
  • Toppings: shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, sour cream, lime wedges, baby corn, sliced black olives, chopped red onion, tortilla chips

How to Make It

Step 1

Sauté first 4 ingredients in hot oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in diced tomatoes and next 5 ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 hour. Serve with desired toppings.

Step 2

*1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth may be substituted.

Step 3

Note: For testing purposes only, we used Del Monte Diced Tomatoes Zesty Chili Style and McCormick White Chicken Chili Seasoning Mix.

This was delicious! I did make a few adjustments: I added 1 pound of ground turkey and two jalapeno peppers and sauteed along with the veggies. I used a bottle and a half of Abita Purple Haze beer, half of a can of yellow and white shoepeg corn and I added a teaspoon of cocoa powder, cayenne and chili pepper and salt and pepper to taste. Served with corn bread and suggested garnish.. yum!!

Made this chili for a teacher appreciation lunch at school, and ended up with lots of requests for the recipe, which I was happy to provide as it was new to me! I used cans of Kroger mixed beans (black, pinto kidney), a roasted bbq chicken from the deli, and put the lime juice directly in the chili. Outstanding!

This was a delicious chili. It was pretty simple to make (especially if you use the rotisserie chicken). Hint: Look for the McCormick spice packet in the bean aisle of your local grocery. . . not the spice aisle). I would definitely make it again. I used Heineken for the beer and felt like it was a good complement for the chili.

My family loved it! My husband wasn't too happy I used his last beer, but he soon got over it. I'll double the recipe next time for leftovers.

This is a delicious chili that I have made several times. It is somewhat spicy but not overly so, easy to make, and keeps well for a couple of days. Good for family or an informal gathering like a football game viewing party. Make sure to have plenty of the toppings on hand as they complement the chili well. I use low fat greek yoghurt in place of the sour cream and it is delicious!

Made this, exactly as directed, for a Chili Cook-Off. It was on the spicy side, and I like spicy. I didn't win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, but my Mexican girlfriend said pot #7 was one of her favorites of the table. So I'd say it's a winner.

Pretty easy! I substituted with things I already had: chipotles in adobo sauce instead of poblano, green bell pepper instead of red, Rotel instead of chili-style tomatoes, kidney beans instead of navy. I also added corn. It was super spicy, but delicious!

This chili is easy but unique and delicious. I substituted one can of corn for the navy beans and garnished with cilantro and sour cream. Yum! On a side note, it was a little too spicy for the children.
