Entertaining a lot of guests? Make some Chicken Chili!

If you are looking to entertain for a lot of people in a way that will be easy, inexpensive, and fill up your guests, here is a great recipe for Chicken Chili.

Ingredients:
1 red pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
3 tbsp Olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
dash of cayenne pepper
4 chicken breasts
4 (16 ounce) cans of black beans, with the liquid
2 (16 ounce) cans of Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce
1 (8 ounce) can of tomato paste

Directions:
Pour the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the red and green pepper and onion until tender. Chop the chicken into very small pieces and add to the pot. Add the garlic and remaining seasonings. Stir continuously until chicken is thoroughly cooked. (take out a piece and cut it open to make sure it is cooked through the center)

Reduce the heat and saute another 2 minutes

Add the beans, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste to the mixture. Bring to a low boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until the chili thickens.
