Method

Heat 1 tablespoon Olive Oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 diced Sweet Onion, 1 chopped Red Bell Pepper, and 3 minced Garlic Cloves and sauté until tender, 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the 1 (15oz) Can Black Beans, 1 1/2 Cup Frozen Sweet Corn, 15 ounces Diced Tomatoes, 2 Cups Chicken or Turkey Broth, 2 Cups Shredded Chicken or Turkey, 1 teaspoon Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin, 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon Chili Flakes. Bring to a simmer.
Lower the heat and continue to simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the chili thickens and flavors blend.
Season with Sea salt and Black pepper to your taste. Serve hot.
Add your favorite toppings and enjoy! Optional toppings include shredded cheese, avocado, tortilla chips, cilantro, sour cream, greek yogurt, or sliced jalapeno.

Notes

– Don’t skip rinsing the black beans and corn; it removes excess sodium and improves flavor.
– For a richer chili, allow it to simmer for at least 20 minutes to fully meld the flavors and thicken the sauce.
– If using fresh chicken, ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before shredding and adding to the chili.
– This chicken chili can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
