A cozy and flavorful one-pot chili with tender chicken, beans, and spices, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. chicken breast (cut into 1/2″ cubes)
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 1 jalapeño (chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 15 oz. can black beans (drained)
  • 1 15 oz. can kidney beans (drained)
  • 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup frozen corn
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Sour cream (optional for serving)
  • Shredded cheese (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped chicken, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is no longer pink.
  2. Add the vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion, jalapeño, and minced garlic. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Combine the ingredients: Add the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, frozen corn, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Simmer the chili: Bring the chili to a low simmer. Cook on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the chili from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Top with sour cream and cheese if desired.

Notes

Customize spice levels by adjusting jalapeño and cayenne pepper. You can also make it dairy-free by omitting cheese and sour cream.
