Chili recipe ideas...

White Bean Chicken Chili

2 TBS canola oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
2 lbs. chicken breast, cubed
2 cloves minced garlic
2 TBS chili powder
2 tsp dried oregano
4 tsp dried cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne
4 C chicken stock
1 15oz can of Cannellinni beans, drained and rinsed
1 15oz can of Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 C fresh cilantro, chopped
Shredded jalepeno jack cheese

In large pot over medium-high heat cook oil, onions, celery for 5 minutes.
Push onions and celery to sides of pot and add chicken, cook for 5 minutes.
Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and cayenne, cook/stir for 2 minutes.
Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes.
Stir in beans and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in cilantro.
Ladle into bowls, top with cheese.

I prefer my chili a bit thicker, sometimes I'll sprinkle in a little flour towards the end of cooking to thicken if necessary.

This recipe never fails.

I've been looking for a good white chili recipe. I'll save this and try it sometime
 
I've been using Spicy v8 for about 10 years after a friend at work suggested it. Great way to add some spice and flavor. Sausage is also better then ground beef.

I got the ideas from a guy I know that does all these chili contests around the country and has won a lot of cook offs. He gave me his recipe once to use for a contest at work if I swore to secrecy. He must be able to tweak things during his cook better than I do because I didnt place although my crockpot was one of the first to be gone so apparently the people there liked it better than most. That recipe also uses some sirloin tip for meat as well

Oh, so you're a commie AND a hok. Good to know.
 
I love this thread.

Adding a can of hominy is a crowd pleaser.
 
Wife sent home for a month, I was sent home Wednesday for Wuhan so thought I'd make a chili.

I have zero exciting ideas - who has an interesting chili recipe? I'm beef but will always entertain a nice white chili idea with chicken...
1 lb hamburger, package of bacon, and a ribeye for meat. Spicy Bloody Mary mix, orange and yellow peppers for color a handful of jalepenos. this is the base for mine, then do beans and all the spices.

You tried this but with pulled pork? Pretty much green chili sans the salsa verde. Good stuff.

As for regular chili, I do 1/2 Graziano AND 1/2 hamburger. One of the best decisions I've ever made after drying out the very tip of a brisket flat was to dice it up and throw it in the freezer for my next batch of chili.

Haven't. I've cubed up some pork ribeye and used that and it was really good. I made it once with shredded chicken and I wasn't a fan of the consistency compared to the cubed chicken/pork. Personal preference.

Making brisket chili right now. Adding some bacon to it also. Was at Sam's in Ankeny yesterday and the only thing they had in the meat cooler was brisket flats. I knew that must have been a sign.

Made this tonight.

I'll have to remember the flour next time, as it was a little soupy for my taste. Used chili beans and just mixed the gravy they came in - seemed to help.

Otherwise, very tasty
