Chicken Chili

Chicken Chili

Thickened with peanuts like some Veracruz sauces, and made with the classic Mexican technique of blending and then frying the sauce ingredients, this mild chili makes for an earthy modern-day meal.
from Gourmet Magazine, April 2007
Makes 4 servings.

A very good, complex taste - and it's fast and easy!

"1 (15-ounce) can pink beans in sauce "

Question: Sauce?

"1 (15-ounce) can pink beans in sauce "

Question: Sauce?

I know! I have no idea what that is, except that Goya apparently makes it (and apparently more than one company makes it, since they recommend the Goya brand!). I have never heard of pink beans, either. I went to two different stores, and couldn't find it in either. Hence the chipotle chiles in adobo sauce. If I find them anywhere, I'll let you know :-)

Do you think the peanuts are absolutely necessary? The chili sounds great except for that. I'm not allergic, or anything, I just don't care for the flavor of peanuts.

[judydeborah]

I'm sure you could make it without the peanuts - there are a lot of flavors going on even without them, although it might not taste as rich and complex. You can't really taste them - I think they just add an undertone. I told my husband there were peanuts in the recipe, and he was surprised.

p.s. I like your Alison Hannigan avatar - is that Willow?

[saberpirate]

Yep, that's Willow. I'm an avid Buffy fan, I own all 7 seasons. I even have the original movie although I really don't like it much. lol.

[judydeborah]

I love Buffy too! My kids have all the DVDs (although two of them had the nerve to take some with them when they went to college). My husband and I are rewatching Buffy - we're on Season 4, and we're also watching Season 1 of Angel at the same time, switching back and forth between the two so that we're watching them the way they were shown. How dorky is that? :-)
