Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs
  • 1/2 large sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 can salsa verde
  • 1 can navy beans
  • 1 can red kidney beans
  • 1 can white shoepeg corn
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup half and half
  • 16 oz chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp sour cream
  • Chopped green onions for top
  • Cheddar Cheese for top

Preparation

Step 1

Dice chicken into cubes. Chop the onion and red bell pepper into small pieces. Mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and onion powder together in a small bowl.

Step 2

In a large soup pot, heat the vegetable oil on medium heat. When the oil is hot, add chicken to the pot and stir immediately so it won't stick. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Allow the chicken to brown. When there are nice carmelization marks on the chicken pieces, add the spice mix to the chicken and stir to distribute. When the chicken is cooked through, remove to a bowl and set aside.

Step 3

There should be some oil and chicken juices in the pan, but if not add another Tbsp of oil if needed. Add onion and bell pepper to the pan and allow to sweat down to a medium brown on the onions, when they're translucent and beginning to caramelize as well. The red pepper should also have a little browning on it.

Step 4

Add the chicken back to the pan, then add the flour and stir to evenly coat all the ingredients. Add the salsa verde, beans, and corn to the pot. Stir. Add the half and half and chicken broth to the pan and stir. Add sour cream. Lower the heat to a low medium and stir the chicken.

Step 5

As the chili heats through, it should begin to thicken. If the chili doesn't thicken as much as you would like, make a cornstarch slurry to thicken further.

Step 6

Serve with chopped green onions, more sour cream and cheddar cheese for topping. Fabulous served over white or brown rice, the what Cheesecake Factory serves it.
