Chipotle Chicken Chili Recipe - Spicy and Flavorful

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast (diced)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (with green chilies)
  • 2 tbsp chipotle in adobo (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 1 tsp pepper (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

    Use a wooden spoon to stir and prevent sticking.
  2. Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Make sure not to burn the garlic.
  3. Cook the Chicken

    Add diced chicken breast to the pot. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.

    Stir occasionally for even cooking.
  4. Combine Remaining Ingredients

    Add chicken broth, black beans, diced tomatoes, chipotle, and corn (if using). Stir well to combine.

    Ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
  5. Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
