EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

This tasty chili is just right for weeknight get-togethers. Pair it with a mixed-greens salad topped with sliced pears and crumbled cheese.

Like your chili thick and chunky? Stir in 1/3 cup cornmeal when adding the beans, chiles and broth. This gives the chili a thicker consistency and a texture similar to thin polenta.

Cumin has a very aromatic and nutty flavor. It comes from the dried fruit of a plant in the parsley family and is used in many Mexican dishes, as well as being a key spice in curries and chili powders.

Hubby and I had this for dinner last night and we loved it. Great spices and makes great comfort food. Just perfect flavor. I would say that in my opinion it is more like a chicken and bean soup and not a chili but it is still a winner for us.

This recipe was so wonderful and easy, I ended up using bone-in thighs since I had no boneless on hand, I just worked the meat off as it cooked, plus I added a little cornmeal for a thickening agent, so it ended up the right consistency!!!
