Chicken Pinto Chili

11 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 6 (16 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 (15 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 12 cups onions, chopped
  • 2 lbs chicken breasts, cubbed bite sized
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • fresh cilantro (optional)
  • shredded Mexican blend cheese (optional)
  • sour cream (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Use a little oil to saute onion and garlic in a stock pot.
  2. 2
    Add oregano and cumin to the onions/garlic and cook for 1 minute to bring out the flavors in the spices.
  3. 3
    Add beans, broth, and seasoned salt.
  4. 4
    Bring to a decent boil and let cook about 2 hours.
  5. 5
    Through in the chopped chicken (raw) to the boiling beans and continue to cook at least 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
  6. 6
    I normally let this cook even longer, about an hour with the chicken because it breaks down a little bit more.
  7. 7
    But it's really not needed and a lot of people prefer the chicken in larger pieces.
  8. 8
    Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream and cilantro.
  9. 9
    Serve with your favorite chips if you'd like.
