Green Chicken Chili

May 27, 2022

This is a fantastic recipe for left-over chicken or rotisserie chicken. It’s a delicious, citrusy, and herbal chili that’s quick and easy to make!

Step 1:

• 1 cup Diced Onion

• 1 TB Cooking Oil

Heat oil in a pot and then cook onions until softened.

Step 2:

• 2 Large Jalapenos, seeds and inner wall removed, small diced

Add jalapenos (or serrano peppers if you want it hotter) and cook to soften.

Step 3:

• 1 Lb Shredded Chicken (see note below for using raw chicken)

• 1 16oz Jar Tomatillo Salsa Verde

• 2 cups Chicken Stock

• 1 can White Beans (Great Northern, Navy, Butter, or Cannellini work great)

• 2 tsp Granulated Garlic

• 1 TB Ground Cumin

• 1 TB Oregano

• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

• 1 tsp Salt (make sure you salt test when finished and add more if needed!)

Add remaining ingredients. Bring to boil and then simmer until ready.

Step 4:

• [Optional] Juice of 1 Lime (taste before adding as some salsa verde brands will already have citrus)

• 1 Bunch Chopped Cilantro OR Italian Parsley

Finish your chili by stirring in the fresh herbs and added optional lime juice. Don’t forget the final salt test!

NOTE:

If you’re starting with raw chicken, cook 1 pound ground or cubed chicken in 1 TB of cooking oil. Set aside and use in Step 3.
