chicken chili with roasted peppers, poblano cream, and baked lime tortilla chips

Chili is one of my favorite cool weather foods. Brings back memories of getting up at the crack of dawn to fight frostbite and cheer on the Hawkeyes! Chili comforts the soul and chicken chili goes really well with an IPA just sayin’!

Okay, back to the chili. Roasted poblano and Anaheim chiles bring spice and sweetness to build the base of this chicken chili. Chicken thighs are the perfect protein for great chicken flavor that won’t dry out like chicken breasts and the spice mix is the perfect seasoning to add complexity. Making this chicken chili truly special is the poblano cream that mixes poblano with avocado, lime, and sour cream to put some lipstick on the original sour cream topping. Bringing the crunch I’ve baked tortillas and seasoned them with a lime salt. Spicy, sweet, creamy, crunchy, all there! Now you just need to make it!
