BREAST*****Chicken Chili with Green Salsa

By Unblond1

Very good for both, Dan especially loved, and easy to pull together, even on a week night.

04/08/12 - UPDATE - Served over Thai Jasmine rice. Very good. Try it with brown basmati.

Preparation

Step 1

* Heat oil in nonstick pan over medium-high heat until hot. Saute garlic and onion until tender. Add remaining ingredients, except cilantro and cook 30 minutes or so to reduce and blend flavors, stirring occasionally.

*(If cooking longer, hold off on adding the beans until about 15 minutes before serving - it cooked for about 45 minutes and the beans were just starting to get mushy)

* Just before serving, stir in cilantro and adjust seasonings to taste.
