This creamy and flavorful Coconut Chicken Chili is a delightful twist on traditional chili. Tender chicken simmered in a coconut milk broth with chili spices creates a comforting and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (like Rotel), undrained
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cheese, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
  2. Add onion and bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Stir in black beans, corn, diced tomatoes and green chilies, coconut milk, and chicken broth.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then add the cooked chicken back to the pot.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour, to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve hot, topped with your favorite toppings like chopped cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cheese, and sour cream.

Notes

For a thicker chili, you can mash some of the beans against the side of the pot. Serve with a side of tortilla chips or cornbread for a complete meal.
