Chipotle Chicken Chili

Notes

Tips

  • One bowl, no stirring. Reverse at speed 1 keeps the chili gently agitated for 45 minutes without scorching or sticking, the kind of unattended simmer that would normally demand a heavy pot and a watchful eye.
  • Chipotle heat scales fast. Start with 20 g (1 pepper plus a spoon of adobo) if you are heat-shy, you can stir in more at the end once the flavours have mellowed. The adobo sauce carries most of the smoke with less of the fire.
  • Sit the simmering basket on top of the lid in place of the measuring cup during the 45 min simmer, it catches splatter while letting enough moisture escape to thicken the chili naturally.
  • This is a half batch of the original 8-portion chili because the 2.2 L Thermomix bowl tops out around 1.8 L safe working volume. Freeze leftovers flat in zip bags for quick weeknight reheats.
