Heat a Dutch oven or large stock pot on medium high heat. When hot, add the olive oil, chopped onions, green peppers, and red peppers.
Saute for a few minutes until the veggies are soft.
Add in the minced garlic and stir.
Add in the ground chicken. Use a meat chopper and break down the ground chicken.
Season the chicken with the chili spices and seasoning. Stir until the chicken until it has fully cooked or for about 5-6 minutes. I find that ground chicken doesn't produce much fat, but use your judgment and drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the broth, beans, diced tomatoes and chilies, and tomato paste to the pot. Stir.
Adjust the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and allow the chili to simmer until all of the ingredients are combined, for about 15-20 minutes.
Cool before serving.
Notes
Any of your favorite canned beans will work for this recipe.I’m using ground chicken in this recipe but ground turkey, ground beef, ground pork, or whatever you prefer is interchangeable so feel free to use what you want.Instead of making your own seasoning, you can use a chili packet if you wish.Feel free to add sugar or sweetener to the chili if you like it sweet.
