This Ina Garten Chicken Chili Recipe post was updated with new pictures and tips 1/17/17.
Ina Garten Chicken Chili Recipe is great comfort food and a twist of traditional chili. I used to be part of the , BAREFOOT BLOGGERS that tests Ina Garten recipes.
This month we have the challenge to do 5 predetermined recipes in a week. The first one I accomplished was her Chicken Chili.
With the temperatures going down we all crave chili in our house. I have never made a chicken chili before so I was a little skeptical but knew that I have found very few Barefoot Contessa recipes that I did not like.
Most of you will have the items in your pantry already, except I only had skinless/boneless chicken breasts as well as a few green peppers still in my garden.
Roast the chicken per the recipe just cut the time down. Or you can make the chicken in your Instant Pot to save even more time.
When I made this the second time, I used bone-in chicken breasts and roasted a few extra chicken breasts to add to my Cheddar Corn Chowder the same week.

Make this chicken chili in a large dutch oven. We also vamped up the spices the second time we made this Barefoot Contessa Chicken Chili recipe.
Can you make this Chili Ahead of Time?
Bake the chicken the day ahead of time or make some extra breasts while baking another recipe. I think chili gets better with time also
Make the recipe in the morning and then set in the keep warm setting of a slow cooker.
Chili to me needs to have a bit of a kick and the original Ina Garten chili recipe did not do that for us.
Everyone in the family enjoyed the Chicken Chili Recipe, and I will definitely do it again.
