Seriously moms, dads, grammies, sisters, significant others, et alia you are going to want to toss this chicken chili together for your next no-brainer dinner night! This chicken chili is that easy, that yummy and it makes enough for an army of little munchkins and a couple of adults. No munchkins? Make it and take it for lunches, it also freezes very well for those nights you just don’t have the energy to do anything but turn on the microwave and grate a bit of cheese. Without further ado…

Awesome Chicken Chili

Coarsely chop a large onion and large green pepper. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large stock or soup pot, toss in the onion and green pepper, saute until tender, about 10 minutes. Add one large can of chopped tomatoes, a can of original or extra spicy Rotel, mix and simmer over medium heat uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally.

To this mixture toss in one small can; drained black beans, garbanzo beans, and kidney beans, one to two cups of shredded cooked chicken, 2 teaspoons dried red chilies, a packet of taco seasoning, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 to 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and scant 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon; stir in and heat throughout.  Serve this yummy chicken chili over brown rice and top with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, finely chopped onions, sliced avocados, chopped black olives and or a dollop of hot sauce.

This Awesome Chicken Chili is even better the next day after all the flavors have melded together and the sauce has thickened. You could even make a Chicken Chili Taco by adding shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and grated cheese in a soft flour tortilla or crispy taco shell!
