Chilly Summer? Think about this Chili Recipe

Made this Friday nite, it was so good with a dollop of Sour Cream on it too!  here's the recipe... 


INGREDIENTS

  • teaspoons olive oil
  • pounds ground chicken
  • teaspoon salt
  • clove garlic, crushed with a press
  • medium onion, chopped
  • teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • Two 15 to 19-ounce cans whitekidney beans (cannellini), rinsed and drained
  • One 16-ounce jar mild salsa verde
  • One 14 to 14 1/2-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

In a 6-quart Dutch oven, heat 1 teaspoon oil on medium-high until very hot. Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt. Add the chicken to the Dutch oven in two batches, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes per batch, and adding 1 teaspoon more oil for the second batch. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a medium bowl once it is done. 

After all the chicken is cooked, add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil with the garlic and onions to the Dutch oven, and cook on medium heat until browned, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in thecumin, oregano, cinnamon and cayenne pepper, and cook 1 minute. Add the beans, salsa verde, broth and browned chicken, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook the chili for 15 minutes to blend the flavors. To serve, garnish with cilantro.

This sounds easy enough. I am going to have to try this. My dutch over will be in shock. I haven't touched it in years.
