Chicken Chili

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
• 1 red or orange bell pepper, chopped
• ½ medium white onion, chopped
• 1 lb ground chicken
• 3 Tbsp Taco & Chili blend
• 1 4 oz can diced green chiles
• 1 15oz can tomato sauce
• 1 15oz can black, pinto or kidney beans (optional)
• Diced avocado, chopped onion and fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a dutch oven over medium high heat. When oil is shimmering add bell pepper and onion. Cook, stirring often to avoid burning until pepper and onion are soften - about 4-5 minutes.
2. Add ground chicken and Taco & Chili blend. Break up chicken with a wooden spoon and mix in the seasoning with the pepper and onions until the chicken is cooked through - about 5 minutes.
3. Add green chilies, tomato sauce and beans and stir to mix all of the ingredients together. Once mixture starts to boil, lower the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes.
4. Taste the chili and adjust the salt & pepper and seasoning if necessary.
5. Place the chili in bowls and top with avocado, onion and cilantro.
