Ingredients
- 3 Chicken Breasts
- 1 Small Onion
- 1 Jalapeno
- 1 Red Bell Pepper
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 2 Garlic Cloves minced
- 1 lb White Beans canned for a quicker cook
- 1 15 oz can Black Beans optional
- 1 15 oz can Kidney Beans optional
- 1 15 oz can diced Tomatoes
- 1 18 oz can Tomato Sauce
- 1 cup cooking Wine
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1-2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsweetened Chocolate grated finely
- 1-2 tbsp Chili Powder to taste
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper to taste
- Sour Cream optional, for topping
- Shredded Cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Brush the chicken breasts with garlic-infused olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of cumin. Bake for 30-40 minutes until cooked through.
- While the chicken is baking, heat a Dutch oven or large pot. Add a splash of olive oil and sauté onions, garlic, and a mix of red and green bell peppers until softened.
- Pour in cooking wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any flavorful bits. Add jalapenos and stir for about a minute.
- Mix in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and all your beans (white, black, kidney). Adjust the heat to a simmer.
- Season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Now, here comes the game-changer—sprinkle in that cinnamon and grated unsweetened chocolate. Trust the process, it's worth it!
- Once the chicken is done, shred it and add it to the pot. Let everything simmer for another hour, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot, optionally topped with sour cream and shredded cheese.
