Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter, divided
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup green pepper, diced
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained
  • 2 (4-ounce) cans mild green chiles
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar, for garnish
  • 3 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Directions

In a large Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces until nicely colored and cooked through. Remove chicken to a large bowl and set aside.

Using the same Dutch oven, stir in the flour. This will create a roux. Stir in the onions and peppers. Add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan and stir in the heavy cream. Lower heat and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Once the sauce has thickened, add the chili powder, coriander, cumin, cayenne, black pepper and the salt. Stir and cook for a few minutes. Add the cannellini beans, chiles and the chicken and simmer for another 6 to 8 minutes. At the very end, mix in the sour cream. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with Cheddar and parsley.

    Restaurant Quality!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I must say, I too have tried several chicken chili recipes, but this is undoubtedly the best so far! It was just so unique... and delicious. As it was cooking, the aroma reminded me a little of enchiladas. I did cut down on the salt and peppers (only 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp cayenne, and 1 tsp pepper) to keep it from being too spicy, and this did not affect the flavor at all. As for the other half of the butter, I made a deep colored roux with the flour (letting it cook for a few minutes), which intensified the richness of the chili. Aaron, you're great and please keep these wonderful recipes coming!Read more

    The best chicken chili!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I loved watching Big Daddy's facial expression when he sampled this chili after making it on the show. He's right, the... secret recipe (sour cream) really cools down the spices in this recipe. I will be making this again soon. Thanks you!Read more

    Watch out for the spice...

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I watched Aaron make the chili on a Sunday and decided to try it within two days. That's a miracle for me! The only thing... takes a bit of time is the chopping, but that's because I'm an amateur. I loved it, but was taken aback by the hotness... Gotta warn people. Made a slightly calmer version for my friends last night and they loved it! I'll be paying more attention to you, Mr. Aaron...Read more

    This was the best chicken chili recipe ever. My husband does not particularly like chili and he absolutely raved and asked... me to make it for one of their meals for deer hunting this year. OUTSTANDING!!Read more
