Amazing Hawaiian Chicken Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven until hot over high heat. Add the ground beef, and cook until barely pink, stirring constantly to break into small pieces. Stir in onions and bell pepper, cook until the meat has browned, and the onions have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour meat into a large mesh strainer and press to expel excess fat.
• Place meat back into Dutch oven along with stewed tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato sauce, and pineapple chunks; season with chili powder and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until chili reaches desired consistency.

Steps:

• In large pot or dutch oven, melt butter and sauté chicken* until almost cooked through.
• Add garlic, onion and bell pepper and cook for 2 more minutes.
• Add reserved pineapple juice and all other ingredients- EXCEPT- for the pineapple chunks.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat, stir in pineapple and serve immediately- OR, WHAT I LIKE TO DO- remove from heat allow to cool, cover and refrigerate over night.
• Next day, reheat on stove top, stir in pineapple and serve.
• *Note about chicken: recipe originally calls for 12 chicken breasts.
• I found this a bit excessive and so tweaked the measurement.
• I find 7-8 breasts works for me.
• I guess it depends on how well endowed your chickens were.
• Judge accordingly.
