Ina Garten Chicken Chili Recipe

There's something super duper comforting about Ina Garten's Chicken Chili.
It's packed with flavor and uses easy steps that even beginners can follow confidently.
My favorite part is how roasting the chicken first gives it a tender texture and depth of flavor that feels like a warm embrace.
A good tip to enhance richness is to invest in high-quality canned tomatoes; they truly make a difference.
Don’t forget to let the chili simmer for a while to meld all those delicious flavors together!
