Vegetable oil spray
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts -- cubed
1 onion -- chopped
2 jalapenos (2 to 4) -- minced
2 cans (15-16 ounces each) white kidney beans -- drained (see note)
2 cans (15-16 ounces each) great northern beans -- drained (see note)
3 cans (15-16 ounces each) black beans -- drained (see note)
4 cups chicken broth
1 can (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies
3 tablespoons Mexican chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
Cubed avocado
Fat-free sour cream

In a large nonstick skillet sprayed with vegetable oil, brown and cook the cubed chicken.

Remove and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, saute the onion and jalapeno peppers.

Put the onion-pepper mixture in a large soup pot and add all the beans, chicken broth and

diced chilies. Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper and cilantro. Heat to a boil,

reduce heat and simmer for at least 40 minutes (longer is better).

Taste and adjust seasonings to taste. Remove pan from heat. Ladle chili into bowls and top

with the cheese, avocado and a dollop of sour cream.

Makes 8 to 10 generous servings.

Note: If desired, raw beans, cooked and drained, can be substituted for the canned beans.

NOTES : Barbara A. Cronin, Everett, WA. Here's my recipe for chicken chili. I've been making

it for years without a recipe, and finally put it down on paper. It's delicious, though not

very diet-friendly, but so worth it! It is especially good with the cheese, avocado and sour

cream toppings, but also good on its own.
