Instructions
- To begin, dice up the yellow bell pepper and onion. Set aside.
- Measure out the spices and set them aside.
- Cut up the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.
- Sprinkle them with some salt & pepper.
- In a Dutch oven, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the pepper and onion. Cook them about 2 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Toss in the chicken and cook it about 2 minutes, until the chicken is mostly white on the outside. Then stir in the spices.
- Add in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, and chicken broth.
- Toss in some sliced, pickled jalapeño peppers…1 to 2 tablespoons.
- And finally, toss in a tablespoon of dry cilantro. If you have fresh, use about a quarter cup.
- Stir this all together, put a lid on, and let it simmer together over medium low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Now for the last ingredient….turn off the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Trust me.
- Stir them in until melted.
- Serve the chili, topped with some sour cream, grated cheese, or whatever you enjoy. I sided mine with some super-simple Skillet Cheddar Biscuits.
- Enjoy!
