BLACK BEAN CHICKEN CHILI
Serves 8

Ingredients:

1 large rotisserie chicken, shredded and chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
5 cloves of garlic, minced fine
olive oil
2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. oregano
3 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
45 oz. black beans from a can (with liquid) – this is approximately 3 small cans of black beans or 1 large can and 1 small can
32 oz. chili-ready tomatoes
1/2 jar spaghetti sauce (we like mushroom)
6 oz. tomato paste

Directions:

To prepare this hearty, award winning chicken chili, saute’ green pepper and onion in olive oil until soft. Add garlic and cook another 1-2 minutes. Add remaining seasonings and chicken, and mix until thoroughly combined. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for about 25 minutes.

Tricks and Tips:

We’ve made this chili the night before, and heated it up in the crockpot the next day for a party. For parties, we'll do one pot of black bean chicken chili and one pot of white bean chicken chili.

This chili freezes very well.

Serve with sour cream, cheddar cheese and cornbread (or French bread or sourdough) for a complete meal.
