Blue Heaven Chili

I stumbled across this recipe in "The Knot" magazine a few years back. This is before they went digital :(  Blue Heaven Chili is still one of our favorites and a perfect go to recipe during the colder months. It's ridiculously easy and only takes a few ingredients!

BLUE HEAVEN CHILI

Serves: 4 people

 

2 tablespoons of bacon drippings or butter (I've tried both and like them equally)

2 cloves of garlic

1 boneless breast, 1 inch cubes

1 cup chopped white onion

3 cups of rich chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1 medium russet potato (sometime I'll throw in another)

4-6 fresh green chilies chopped or a small can of diced green chilies

1/2 cup of blue cheese (the secret most awesome ingredient!)

 

 

 

Melt butter or dripping in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until clear, takes about 5 minutes. Add garlic and chicken, stir until brown, takes about 4 minutes. Add broth, chilies and potatoes. Simmer until chicken and potatoes are cooked, about 30-40 minutes. Add salt to tastes.

 

 

 

Dish into bowls and top with blue cheese. Serve with butter and fresh sourdough bread.
