Garten's chicken chili recipe combines split chicken breasts, canned tomatoes, various bell peppers, and spices for a hearty meal. While the original recipe emphasizes certain ingredient measurements, personal tweaks on spices can enhance flavor without increasing heat. The preparation tips highlight the importance of ingredient size, especially with bell peppers, so they complement the chicken better. Garten advocates for the use of canned tomatoes for convenience, emphasizing that simplicity can enhance cooking.
"I always make this with canned tomatoes; life's too short to peel a tomato," Garten said in the episode.
"You want to cook the garlic for just a minute so it doesn't get really bitter," she explained in a 'Barefoot Contessa' episode.
Doubling spices turned up the flavor without making things too spicy.
Larger pieces of bell peppers might actually be too chunky for this dish because there's so much chicken in the chili.
