Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent. (5-7 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

Stir in the rinsed black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), shredded chicken, chili seasoning mix, and ground cumin. Season generously with salt and pepper.

04

Step
15 mins

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer. (15 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Simmer for at least 15 minutes, or longer for deeper flavor development.

For an even richer flavor, consider using fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
If you prefer a thicker chili, mash about half a cup of the black beans before adding them to the pot.
Leftovers taste even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or a dollop of guacamole.
