Introduction

I made this up one day trying to find something different to make using pantry supplies. It turned out really well and is wonderful when the weather starts turning cold. The "chili" freezes really well too!
SN...I was working toward chili but unless a slurry is made it has more of a hearty soup texture. The chili name stuck so...there ya go :)

Ingredients

    Ingredients:

    16 oz Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast

    10.5oz can Rotel Diced Tomatoes and Chiles with Lime Juice and Cilantro (regular will work as well)
    14.5oz can Hunt's Diced Tomatoes
    1 cup Green Pepper, diced
    1/2 tsp Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning w/ pepper

Saute' for 2-3 min. Add Rotel and diced tomatoes, stir, and let simmer for 1-2 min. Add corn and stir. Add water and beans (these are canned so make sure they have been drained and rinsed) Stir. Add chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Stir. Let chili simmer for 20 mins-during simmer taste to see if additional salt is needed and add as desired (making sodium changes of course).

We prefer it this was as we eat it with cornbread :)
