List of Ingredients




For the pulled chicken and broth:
5 pounds bone-in chicken thighs and/or breasts
1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 large or 3 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
2 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon salt

For the chili:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions (about 1 pound total), chopped
2 (4.5-ounce) cans chopped green chilies
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup flour
Salt to taste


Recipe



For the pulled chicken and broth: In a large stock pot, combine the chicken, tomato, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves and salt. Add enough water to cover the chicken and vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low so the liquid just barely simmers. Simmer until the chicken is tender and falling off
the bones, about 1 hour. Transfer the chicken pieces to a plate and set aside until cool enough to handle.

Strain the broth; discard the vegetables. Set the broth aside.

Using a fork or your fingers, pull the chicken from the bones. Break any large pieces into small, bite-size chunks or strips. Discard the chicken bones and skin.

While the chicken is cooling, start preparing the chili: In a 6- to 8-quart pot, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the green chilies and cumin and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the
mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is dissolved. Stir in 3 cups of the reserved chicken broth. Add the pulled chicken and bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low so the liquid just barely simmers. Taste and add salt as
needed. Simmer the chili for 15 minutes. If the chili seems too thick, add additional chicken broth as needed. Save the remaining broth for another use.
