Hawaiian Chicken Chili

Recipe #76861 | 1¼ hours | 20 min prep | add private note

Another great recipe from my Aunt Toni. Unusual but wonderfully tasty as was proved this Fall when my DH and I won a chili cook-off with it. Hope you enjoy it as well.

SERVES 8 , 1 large pot of chili (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In large pot or dutch oven, melt butter and sauté chicken* until almost cooked through.
  2. 2
    Add garlic, onion and bell pepper and cook for 2 more minutes.
  3. 3
    Add reserved pineapple juice and all other ingredients- EXCEPT- for the pineapple chunks.
  4. 4
    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. 5
    Remove from heat, stir in pineapple and serve immediately- OR, WHAT I LIKE TO DO- remove from heat allow to cool, cover and refrigerate over night.
  6. 6
    Next day, reheat on stove top, stir in pineapple and serve.
  7. 7
    *Note about chicken: recipe originally calls for 12 chicken breasts.
  8. 8
    I found this a bit excessive and so tweaked the measurement.
  9. 9
    I find 7-8 breasts works for me.
  10. 10
    I guess it depends on how well endowed your chickens were.
  11. 11
    Judge accordingly.

Very good chili. I love the pineapple, but next time would use tidbits or cut the chunks in half. Also I added corn to the chili.

    I made this quite awhile ago but I still remember how great it turned out. My mouth is watering again just thinking about it. I made this for a Hawaiian ethnic dinner for a large group & several commented how tasty it was. I agree it's sweet & savory, we used Pace salsa (which is quite hot) so I found it balanced the sweet perfectly. This dish gets better the longer it sits, thanks so much for sharing.

    I made this chili this morning and it turned out wonderful! Here are just a few notes that I made: 1.) I used 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 2.) I used about 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 3.) I used about 1 cup of frozen chopped onions, 4.) I used about 1 cup of frozen chopped green peppers and 5.) Instead of salt, I used an all-purpose seasoning called Cracker Girl. I browned the chicken in the butter first and then I drained it as it was very liquidy. I added the garlic, onions and peppers. In the meantime, I added all of the other ingredients (except for the pineapple chunks) to my crockpot and stirred it all up. I added the chicken when it was done and turned the crockpot on low and it has been cooking for about 6 hours or so. Hubby loves it! Thanks for the awesome recipe that I'm sure I will be using again and again. I just posted some pictures for you as well.

    This is an excellent chili recipe when you want something different. I cut up the pineapple chunks smaller and used less chili powder than called for. I used Newman's pineapple salsa and added a can of black beans. It was great that night but even better as leftovers the next day. I gave the recipe to 4 other people and they all raved over it also!!
