Italian Chicken Chili
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- crushed red pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine, preferably Italian
- 2.5 cups cooked, shredded chicken, white and dark meat
- 1 15 oz can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 2-3 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
- 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- freshly grated parmigiano cheese, for serving
- Pour olive oil into a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery and red pepper and cook until soft, about 15 minutes, stirring often.
- Add garlic, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper and herbs. Take a moment to enjoy the earthy, fragrant scents that waft through your kitchen.
- Deglaze the pot with white wine, scraping up any lovely browned bits from the bottom.
- Add chicken, beans and combine gently until lightly warmed, taking care to keep the beans whole.
- Pour the stock into the chicken mixture. Be liberal if you want a brothy, soupy dish, and restrain yourself if you're looking for a chili or stew-like consistency.
- Continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve, garnishing with chopped basil leaves and freshly grated parmesan.
