Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation (Not) Chili

I roasted a chicken last night and had quite a bit of it left over.

Tired of making a stir fry with leftover chicken, so what to do?

I got creative (gasp).
Here's what I did.



Cubed up chicken meat.

Put in a heavy pot and browned a little in EVOO with chopped garlic.

Added 1/2 large onion chopped, a cup of frozen corn, a can of diced tomatoes, a can of garbanzos, a can of black beans (rinsed/drained), and 2 cups chicken broth (from cooked chickens we raised).

Added oregano flakes, cumin, 1-1/2 T chili powder.

Simmered until onions were tender and product was of desired consistency.

Served with cast iron skillet cornbread.



I guess it's a thick soup. I could go off the res and call it a chicken and bean chili*

It turned out good. No pics though, so you know what that means.


* I told my wife that except for the chicken, the beans, and the corn......it could be a chili.

Italitexaco Chicken soup/stew? Garbonzo beans and tomato. Black beans and corn. Seasonings from Italy and the Southwest.

Sounds good enough to eat.

I make a chicken chili with garbanzo beans and cannelloni beans
So I'd call it chicken chili

And chicken chili does have beans in it !

Real cookin', start with a little, finish with a lot!

Definitely a fusion of flavors. It was a wing and a prayer and a different way to make another meal from leftover chicken.

My wife usually is not big on leftovers, but she now has a few containers of this um, ok, chili in the freezer.

chicken chill with beans...into the dog house u go ...sorry......

Like the title says, this is "Not Chili",,,,,,

































So for the love of God,, QUIT CALLING IT CHILI!!!!

It's giving me the vapors.

It probably would if there were any such thing.

It's the best I like better than regular chil!

New year's Eve I roasted a chicken for enchiladas the next day. In the future, leftover chicken will be used to fill tortillas...

actually the dish is better called chili chicken enchiladas...very similar to chili...yeah

Thats silly you don't fill tortillas with chicken chili

yup, has beans in it, too...chili with beans and chicken

actually it's more of a white chili...let's call it blonde chili

It's actually white chicken chili and it's very good

no doubt...that is the real deal...chili for sure

Tough crowd!

Thought about encheelaadaas. Tried that before and did not impress my own damn self. Need a little hep on that. Hint there.

Added:

I've gotten used to cornbread in a skillet and have not made it in a square baking pan in a long time.

With just two of us, I cut the recipe on the cornmeal bag in half and baked it in a pre-warmed 8" CI skillet.

I put the full batch in a 10".

I also have the CI corn ear pans. I need to use them again.

at some point I can get around to posting the recipe...enchiladas with tomatillo sauce, but if you can't get tomatillos in the sourdough state, not gonna...

I'll investigate the tommy till toes.

Thanks.
