Chicken Salsa Chili

Okay, tonight is "no recipe night". Here's what I did:

In large pot, heat some olive oil and browned 1.5 lbs. chopped boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Adding in whatever order I copped them:
3 tomatoes
1 yellow bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 onion
celery

As well as:
1 can of corn
1 can of black beans
1 package of fresh cilantro
minced garlic
juice of two limes
salt
pepper

(dinner is served with blue corn chips)

Verdict:
very good!

I wouldn't have touched this with a ten foot pole 6 months ago. Meatless March had an effect on me.

Comments:
I'd like to try purple or sweet onions, some jalapenos (Trader Joe's didn't have any) and chicken broth or tofu just to do a meatless variety. More beans would be fine too. For those that like them, a green pepper would certainly add something.

    another can of diced tomatoes
    purple onion vs. sweet
