Excellent chili. My hubby & I like original canned Stagg chili, but hate the lowfat version. This tastes like Stagg, but better, and low fat. Very easy to make too! Goes great with a little lowfat cheese and some chips.
I’m not much of a chili lover but this really satisfied. I used just cannellini beans as that’s all I had and I think that worked great, particularly with chicken. Didn’t have enough fresh red pepper so I cut up some roasted red pepper from a jar and added that. Also only had diced canned tomatoes so I pureed one can and left the other one chunky which gave great little sweet bites of tomato in the recipe. Final addition was a couple tablespoons of orange marmalade to give a hint of sweetness. This addition was counter-balanced by my using Pam spray rather than vegetable oil. I’d also suggest seasoning the chicken with the salt and pepper as well rather than just in the chili as it needed a bit of seasoning. Great recipe!
The recipe is very easy to prepare and quite delicious.I did add salt and pepper. In place of the jalapeno, I added a small can of chopped green chilies.
I added vinegar, red wine of course and lots of garlic salt and Louisana hotsauce. I chopped up fresh basil- not bad!
