• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

• 1 can Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Corn kernels, drained

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the pot, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 5

Remove the chicken breasts and set them aside, then add chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine, cooking the spices for about 1 minute.

Step 6

Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth, stirring to mix everything well.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the pot, bring the mixture to a simmer, and cover the pot. Let the chili cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.

Step 8

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot. Shred them using two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 9

Stir in the kidney beans, black beans, and corn kernels. Allow the chili to simmer gently for another 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
