It takes about 15 minutes of prep and about another 30 to 45 minutes to simmer.  This needs a 6-8 Qt stock pot and serves about 6-8 folks.

Ingredients:

2 Packs of Taco Seasoning.  We like mild.

2 Pack of Original Ranch Dressing Mix (powder)

1 pound of shredded or diced cooked chicken. 

1 med onion... chopped

1 cans of Mexican style stewed tomatoes

1 can of diced stewed tomatoes

6 cans of whatever type of beans you like.  I use 2 cans of Black beans, 2 cans of Pinto and 2 cans of Red beans.  Drain and wash

1 bag of shoe peg corn (frozen)

Bunch of green onions

Shredded cheese (whatever you like) Sour cream if you want

 Now you need to put all of this together.  First cook the onion till tender, then add the cooked chicken.  Add in the packs of Taco seasoning and Ranch dressing mix.  Stir till combined.  Then add in the stewed tomatoes.  Mix well.  Then add in the beans and corn.    At this point it needs to simmer over med to med-low heat.  You will need to stir so it does not scorch the bottom. It will look like it needs water, don't add any!.  If you think it really needs liquid add some chicken stock.  It needs to simmer for about 30-45 minutes, longer is better.

Serve it over corn bread, chips (Frito's or Corn chips) top with cheese and chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream.  

If you want to use regular stewed tomatoes over the Mex Style this will work and it will not have the heat from the peppers.  

Enjoy!

 

4 Comments on Easy Southwestern Chicken Chili

It really is good!  Actually it did from the hill country of TX, Cat's Springs, TX!  It was a put together one night at my in-laws home when they had an ice storm and everything was iced up for several days back in the early 1990's.  We have worked on the recipe for several years and this is the result.

Thanks Dale, this recipe is good with just about any meat.  My wife and I like the vegi version with no meat.  When we eat it this way we double up on the black beans.

Hope you enjoy the chili.
