Instructions
Preparation Steps
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), fire-roasted diced tomatoes (undrained), kidney beans (drained and rinsed), black beans (drained and rinsed), and chicken broth.
Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot.
