My wife uses Knorr’s tomato in her rice. Can’t tell you what else she adds but it is good.
As far as chili goes I like it hot.
I ought to try chicken chili.
Yeah, most people like chili hotter than I like although I have found that as I age, I am ordering hot sauce now instead of medium or mild as I used to.
Chicken and tomatoes combo never appealed to me except in an Italian restaurant ;-). Would it be ground meat or chunky? Some people make chili with beef chunks. I guess I like the ground beef. I don't like any meat that comes in those rolls, don't trust the process, they call that kind of packaging "chubs" in my online local grocery. I would buy it specially ground at the meat counter if I am going to use ground chicken or turkey. Or beef. Or pork.
I notice my favorite taco place and now the Mexican restaurant down the hill a ways their meat cooks up real fine like that pink slime. But I am used to it in their cooking. I got some ground beef at Walmart once and it cooked up real fine like that.
I mean if I had what PUGACHEV suggested I could add just a little of a packet of tomato stuff, seal it up and it should keep well for awhile. If this rice works for me, I would make it often along with refried beans or not.
A great tip I got from Chef John is to cut up a little fennel and put it in ground pork. Maybe a pinch or two of sage. But fennel seems to be the secret. I mean to try it as I can never ever find that special flavor in sausage. Nearest is MacD's which uses beef now or my old tried and true pizza place across town a ways.
