How to Make Arizona Chicken Chili

  1. Dice 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch chunks.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken, one 28-ounce can of undrained Del Monte diced tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons of chili powder.
  3. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened. Stir occasionally.
  4. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup of chopped onion, 1/4 cup of chopped green bell pepper, and 1 teaspoon of cumin. Stir well.
  5. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and flavors have melded.
  6. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 cup), diced avocado (1/4 avocado per serving), sliced radishes, or chopped green onions, as desired.
  7. Serve hot. Makes 4 servings.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
