Comment préparer Melanie's Chicken Chili

Brown 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove chicken and set aside.
Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 green bell pepper, chopped, and 1 red bell pepper, chopped, and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 teaspoon salt.
Return the cooked chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
Stir in 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or more, to taste) before serving.
Garnish with your favorite toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or chopped green onions.
