Darren’s Champion Green Chili won first place at the 2016 Denver Chili Fest. A simple recipe, it is bursting with flavor, colorful and is a no-fail recipe that can be used as a basis for many variations.
This chile verde won first place at the 2017 Denver Chili Fest. It is an easy recipe that can be used as a base for whatever variations you want. With colorful bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange), this is a particularly festive as well as flavorful chili.
In the photo, you can see this chili is very thick. You may want to add water to get the consistency you want. I made this with 2 lbs of Pueblo Hot chiles instead of 1 lb Pueblo Hot and 1 lb Hatch Hot. In the finished dish, I doubt that most people will be able to tell the difference. I also found I wanted to add more Kickin’ Chicken, so I probably put in more like 1 tsp rather than 1/2 tsp.
This is a recipe I’m likely to make over and over. And like most green chili recipes, it freezes very well.
Hope you enjoy this!
