Ingredient List
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut in 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 cup chopped white onion
- 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ Organic Mild or Medium Chili Starter
- 1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
Preparation
- In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and salt; cook 4 minutes. Stir chicken; continue to cook 3 to 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Using slotted spoon, transfer to bowl; cover and keep warm.
- Add bell pepper and onion to drippings in Dutch oven; cook over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
- Stir in chili starter, beans and chicken; heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 5 minutes, stirring frequently, to combine flavors.
Tips
- For best results, pat chicken dry before adding to hot oil.
- Feel free to substitute your favorite beans for the cannellini beans. Chickpeas, pinto beans or kidney beans are all good choices.
- Serve with diced avocado, crumbled queso fresco cheese, chopped fresh cilantro leaves, lime wedges and tortilla chips.
