How to Make Spicy Chicken And Beans

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes, and cook until browned on all sides.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans, rinsed and drained, 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans, rinsed and drained, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro before serving.
  6. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as warm tortillas, rice, shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or a squeeze of lime.
