Pulled Chicken and Black Bean Chili: A Flavorful and Easy Weeknight Dinner
Who doesn't love a warm and comforting bowl of chili on a chilly evening? Pulled chicken and black bean chili is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights.
This chili is made with simple, affordable ingredients that you probably already have on hand. You'll need:
* 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
* 1 onion, chopped
* 2 bell peppers, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
* 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
* 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
* 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the chicken breasts over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks.
2. Add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic to the pot and cook until softened about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the black beans, corn, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
4. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours.
5. Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
Tips:
* For a spicier chili, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
* If you don't have any black beans on hand, you can substitute another type of bean, such as kidney beans or pinto beans.
* This chili can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
