Ingredients
3 cans dark red kidney beans2 cans black beans1 can pinto beans1 can black-eyed peas1 can corn1/2 cup diced pickled jalapenos1 large red onion, dicedapprox. 15 baby carrots, sliced4 ounce chicken breast, chopped/cubed OR1 rotisserie chicken breast skinned and shreddedCayenne pepperBlack pepperGarlic powder
This recipe will make approximately 6 1-cup servings.
The amounts of each individual ingredient can be adjusted to your personal taste, or eliminated altogether for personal preference (i.e. remove chicken for vegetarian or no cayenne if you do not like spicy/hot foods).
Start by chopping/dicing (three handfulls chopped) baby carrots, 1 (large red) onion, and 1/2 cup minced jalapenos.
Combine black, kidney, pinto beans, black-eyed-peas, and corn into large pot. Add chopped/diced veggies. Add pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer.
If using chicken breast, bake/grill thoroughly and cut into small cubes or shred. Another option is to purchase a rotisserie chicken, remove skin and bone, and use the breast of the chicken (shredded). Add cooked chicken directly to ingredients in pot.
Simmer on Low heat for 30 - 90 minutes. It is ready after 30, but gets better with time. You could also make this in a crock pot.
You may add water for a more soup-like meal, leave recipe as-is for more chili-like meal.
Honestly, this recipe is at its ultimate flavor after two days of marinating in its own juices. But enjoy in the meantime!
