Ingredients

  • 2 ribs celery
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 boneless chicken fillets (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup diced yellow onions
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon apple (or pumpkin) pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 (15.5 oz) cans reduced-sodium cannellini beans
  • 3 cups unsalted chicken (or vegetable) stock
  • 1 ½ cups apple cider (or apple juice)
  • 1 box multi-grain rice medley (10–12 oz)
  • 2 medium Golden Delicious apples

Steps

    1. Chop celery (½ cup) and garlic finely. Preheat large stockpot on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add chicken; cook 2–3 minutes on each side until browned.
    2. Remove chicken from pot; add onions, garlic, celery, chili powder, paprika, apple pie spice, and salt; cook and stir 2–3 minutes until onions are tender. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute and return chicken to onion mixture.
    3. Reduce heat to low. Drain beans. Stir in stock, cider, beans, and rice; simmer 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and chicken is 165°F. Remove chicken from pot; shred into bite-size pieces, then return to pot.
    4. Cut apples into small cubes. Serve apples on top of chili.
