Smart Cooking Tips:
1. I rinse the canned black beans in cold water before adding it to the chili, because to get rid of sodium. If you don’t rinse it avoid adding salt or less amount of salt because the liquid content in canned beans is salty.
2. Make sure to chop the chicken breast finely. You can also use ground chicken or turkey in this recipe.
3. Cook until tomatoes become soft and blend with the chicken and black beans. So that the chili tastes more flavorful and thick in consistency.
4. Using cheese for garnish is purely your option, my husband loves cheese taste in chili, and I don’t prefer it.
5. You can use any variety of bell peppers in this recipe like red, yellow, green or orange peppers.
