Low Carb Spicy Green Chicken Chili Recipe 465

LOW CARB SPICY GREEN CHICKEN CHILI RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Place a medium soup pot on the stove, over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic to the pot. Season with a small amount of salt and pepper. Sweat veggies, until translucent. Lay chicken on top of onions, in the pot. Season with a little salt and pepper. Cover chicken with poblanos, jalepenos and tomatillos. Season with a little salt and pepper. Use a zester or the fine side of a cheese grater to zest the outside of the 2 limes (just remove the green part, not the white part). Place the grated lime skin (zest) into the pot. Juice the limes, removing the seeds, and add the juice to the pot. Cover the pot, lower the heat to "simmer" and allow the contents of the pot mingle, settle and simmer away for 30 minutes. While this mixture simmers, in a small dry bowl, mix together the cumin, coriander, guar and xanthan gums. Add a small amount of salt and pepper. Blend all ingredients evenly (if you use the guar and xanthan gums, these will thicken the chili and give it a "heartier" feel. Mixing them into the spices will help them more evenly distribute in the chili, without causing any clumping). When the 30 minutes have passed, remove the lid and stir all the contents of the pot, making sure to turn the breasts over. Evenly dust the top of the pot with the spice blend, then mix it into the chili mixture. Place the lid back onto the pot and allow to simmer for a further 30 minutes, checking the pot from time to time, to make sure it doesn't burn. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add a little water or chicken stock to adjust the consistency. After 60 total minutes, use two forks to break the chicken breasts into large chunks, within the pot. Stir in the chopped cilantro and make any final seasoning adjustments you may see fit.

CHEF JOHN'S GREEN CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Season chicken thighs with salt on both sides.
• Transfer 1/2 the chicken to a dry, nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl. Brown the rest of the chicken. Let cool to room temperature before cutting.
• Combine salsa verde, green chilies, garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro in a blender. Blend, starting on low and finishing on high, until sauce is very smooth and bright green.
• Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and transfer back into the bowl. Combine chicken pieces, accumulated juices, and the green sauce into a pot. Season with cumin, chipotle pepper, black pepper, oregano, and salt.
• Rinse out blender with a splash of water and pour into the pot. Mix together and set heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until chicken is tender, depending on size of chicken pieces, about 1 hour. Stir in kidney beans and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.

LOW FAT CHICKEN GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium high heat and saute the onions for a few minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and saute for another minute. If at any time during the saute the pan starts to dry, add a splash of chicken broth (up to 1/2 cup is set aside in the recipe for this step) and stir.
• When the onions and garlic are soft, add the rest of the broth, salt, pepper, salsa and chicken. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool.
• Stir in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Shred the chicken with two forks and add it back to the pot. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• We like to eat this topped with a little bit of reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of low fat sour cream.
