Savor the Flavor: Simple Chicken Chili Recipe

Ingredients

• A tablespoon of vegetable oil for a touch of richness
• A cup of diced yellow onion, adding a burst of flavor
• Two diced stalks of celery, for a crunchy twist
• Four cups of diced chicken, for a hearty protein addition
• Three cups of chicken broth to enhance the savory base
• One can of 15-ounce red kidney beans, with all its flavorful juices
• One can of 15-ounce garbanzo beans, full of earthy goodness
• One can of 15-ounce navy beans, for a creamy texture
• Two cans of 4-ounce diced green chiles, to spice things up
• Three tablespoons of chili powder, for a fiery kick
• Two tablespoons of ground cumin, to deepen the flavors
• One tablespoon of ground thyme, for an herby note
• A tablespoon of garlic and herb seasoning blend, like Mrs. Dash®, for a well-rounded taste
• A teaspoon of salt to balance all the flavors

Step 1

Start by heating some oil in a big stockpot on medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and celery in the sizzling oil until they become soft, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Next, add the chicken and cook it until it turns a lovely shade of brown, which usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 2

After that, it's time to include the chicken broth, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, navy beans, chiles, chili powder, cumin, thyme, seasoning blend, and salt. Let all these delicious ingredients mingle together in the pot.

Step 3

Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and allow it to simmer until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. This process typically takes around 30 minutes. Enjoy the rich flavors and aromas that will fill your kitchen as this hearty and satisfying dish cooks to perfection.
