Grilled Chicken Hatch Chile Chili Recipe
This chili is not just any regular chili; it’s packed with the smoky heat of hatch chiles, tender grilled chicken, and a medley of spices that create depth and comfort in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of grilled chicken, shredded
- 4 fresh hatch chiles, roasted, peeled, and diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, diced avocado
Instructions
- Begin by roasting the hatch chiles. You can do this by placing them directly on a grill or under a broiler until the skin is charred. Once done, place them in a paper bag for about 10 minutes to steam, which will make peeling easier. Peel, seed, and dice the chiles.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the shredded grilled chicken to the pot, along with the roasted hatch chiles, diced tomatoes, black beans, chicken broth, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer. Once it begins to bubble, reduce the heat slightly and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thicker chili, you can let it simmer a bit longer, or if you like it thinner, feel free to add more chicken broth.
- Serve warm, garnished with your choice of optional toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, or diced avocado. Enjoy your hearty bowl of Grilled Chicken Hatch Chile Chili!
This comforting chili is sure to become a favorite in your household. Happy cooking!
