"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Bake chicken breasts at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cut in bite sized pieces. (Alternatively, use the breast meat from a Costco/Sams chicken; quicker) In a large pot, lightly sauté the onion and garlic in the oil. Add the chilies, stir, then add broth and beans with liquid. Mix in the cumin, oregano and cayenne and dash of your favorite hot sauce. Bring to a boil and add chicken pieces. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Season to taste.

Serve with “Matt and Joey’s Cornbread”

Personal Notes:
This was published by Bob Talbert (iconic Detroit Free Press columnist) in January 1992 as his family's Super Bowl chili recipe. Chicken in chili was considered rather odd back then but we've been hooked on it ever since.
