Delicious Black Bean Chicken Chili Recipe for Family

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (with green chilies)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned.

    Make sure not to overcrowd the pot.
  2. Add Onion and Garlic

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Combine Spices

    Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional minute to toast the spices.

    This enhances the flavor.
  4. Add Remaining Ingredients

    Add black beans, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

    Ensure everything is mixed well.
  5. Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

    This allows the flavors to meld together.
