Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of fragrant olive oil
  • A generous amount of finely chopped large onion
  • 3 cans of wholesome black beans, thoroughly rinsed and drained
  • 2 cans of diced tomatoes bursting with flavor
  • 2 cans of tender chicken, meticulously drained
  • 2 packets of rich chili seasoning mix
  • A hint of ground cumin to enhance the taste
  • A sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the flavors

Step 1

Begin by warming up some lovely olive oil in a generously sized pot placed over medium heat. Add in some finely chopped onion and let it sizzle away in the fragrant oil until it turns soft and translucent. Next, toss in those nutritious black beans, juicy diced tomatoes, tender chicken pieces, zesty chili seasoning, aromatic cumin, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of pepper into the mix. Stir everything together, making sure to break up the chicken into delicious shreds. Allow the flavors to meld and mingle as you bring the pot to a gentle boil. Once bubbling, lower the heat to a cozy medium-low setting and let the concoction simmer away for approximately 15 minutes until it is piping hot and ready to be enjoyed. Optional tip: Garnish with a dollop of creamy sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor!
