Quick Bean Chili for two

A quick chicken chili perfect for lunch when you've only 15 minutes to cook. Yields enough beany rich chili enough for two. Want fewer beans? Add more meat. :-3 This chili doesn't need to cook down to meld flavors, because it takes advantage of Ranch Style Beans and tomato paste instead of tomato sauce.
 
Ingredients:

  • 1 can Ranch Style Beans with zesty peppers
  • 1 large chicken breast
  • 3 tbsp chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • 1 tbsp of chili powder
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • salt, pepper, cayenne to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

In saucepan on medium heat, saute onion in olive oil until almost translucent then add chicken and garlic. When chicken is cooked through, add tomato paste and chili powder. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes to remove raw tomato flavor, stirring often to be sure not to scorch paste. Add can of beans with liquid and bring to simmer. Heat through. Add cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste.

Enjoy
