Green Chicken Chili

Loco Lobo

Big Papa started a thread on chili recipes. I thought to post this site wide under the recipe name so it can be found in search engine.


White Bean Chicken Green Chili

Worked this out for a University of Texas tail gate about 10 years ago. Adjust the spicy aspects to suit your taste or audience.

4 - Chicken Breasts (boneless skinless) cut into ½ inch dice (you can use thigh meat if you like it a deeper taste but somewhat oily)
2 – Red onions – large chop
3 – Chicken bouillon cubes (great flavor adder without adding liquid)
1.5 – Tbl cumin
2 – Tbl diced pickled jalapeno
1 – Tsp cinnamon
1 – Tbl flour to thicken
1 – Large can green enchilada sauce (mild or medium) or jar of green salsa (if you like it spicy)
3 – cans Cannellini or Navy Beans drained
1 – Large can diced green chilies
Salt and pepper to taste

Brown chicken in oil, don’t crowd the pan or move chicken around until it turns really brown (flavor becomes stronger). Do it in stages if required. If the pan is crowded the chicken will steam rather than brown. Remove and set aside. Add Onions sauté for 5 minutes. Add bouillon cubes, jalapeno green chilies and spices; sauté 3 minutes. Add flour and cook one minute. Add green sauce and combine. Add beans and chicken. Put on egg or oven at 225 – 250 for 2 to 4 hours.

The longer you cook the more the chicken will shred. Crush some of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken.

Serve with cheese. Believe it or not goat cheese/ feta is really spicy and great!

My kids took this recipe off to college and use it for their tailgating.

Well then…
The recipe looks real good and I may have to give it a try, but I was REAL worried just reading the heading in regard to the “green chicken”!
If I really had that, I would have to feed it to the dogs (their gallbladder still works like it should) because I’m thinking that true “”green”” chicken could make me really sick.
Just making some fun :silly:
