Chicken Chorizo Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Combine first 9 ingredients in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low 5-6 hours or until flavors are blended. Serve with avocado, sour cream and cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat a big, deep skillet over medium high heat with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Add chorizo and render its fat, 2 minutes. Push the chorizo off to the sides of the pot and add chicken meat. Brown and crumble the chicken, 5 to 6 minutes. Season the chicken with chili powder and cumin while it cooks. Combine the onions, garlic, peppers and beans to meats and cook another 5 to 6 minutes. Stir the beer into the chili and reduce the liquid a minute then add the tomatoes and heat through. Season the chili with salt, to taste, and reduce heat to low.
• Bring 6 cups stock to a boil in a medium pot, stir in polenta and keep stirring until the polenta masses and thickens to a porridge, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in butter, scallions and thyme and season with salt, to taste.
• Fill bowls half way with polenta and make a well in the center. Fill up bowls with chili and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chorizo, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Cool. Drain the grease from the pan, but reserve the drippings at the bottom.
• To the pan, add 2 tablespoons EVOO, 2 turns of the pan. Add the garlic, chiles, bay leaf, onions and salt and pepper, cook to soften, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken stock, paprika, tomatoes, tomato sauce and cinnamon. Simmer to thicken the sauce, about 15 minutes.
• Pour about one-third to one-half of the sauce into a large casserole dish.
• Combine the cooled down chorizo with the chicken, half the manchego and Pepper Jack cheese, parsley and olives. Wrap the filling inside the charred tortillas and arrange in a casserole dish, cover with the remaining sauce and cheese. Cool and chill for a make-ahead meal.
• To serve, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the enchiladas from room temperature until hot through and brown and bubbly, 35 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Crumble in the chorizo. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the chorizo with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the red onion and bell peppers and cook until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeno, ancho powder, cumin, smoked paprika and oregano. Cook and stir to coat the meat and vegetables in the spices, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes, beef broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then stir in the black beans and butternut squash. Simmer, uncovered, until the chili is thick and flavorful and the veggies are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Serve the chili with bowls of the toppings on the side for passing at the table.
