Chicken Chili

We were sitting in a waiting area of an airport the first time I had chicken chili. It was honestly, the best chili I have ever had. I don't think I have exactly duplicated it, but really it's a recipe that you can have fun with and add whatever vegetables you like. This recipe serves four.

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1/2 red pepper, chopped
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped
• 1/2 pkg chili seasoning, such as Club House
• 1 can Heinz style chili beans (pinto and red kidney)
• 1 can tomatoes ( I use Aylmer Accents for chili)

Method:

1. Cut chicken into bite size pieces and brown both sides in large frying pan.
2. Add onion and celery. Cook, stirring a few minutes, then add peppers and cook another few minutes.
3. Add chili seasoning, stirring to coat and then add tomatoes and beans.
4. Simmer for about 1/2 hour. Serve with toppings such as sour cream and grated cheese. Good with cornbread and a mixed green salad.

Note: it you can't get chili style beans and tomatoes, use regular kidney beans and stewed tomatoes with a pkg of chili seasoning according to taste. Heinz Chili Sauce is also a good addition, according to taste.
