I was looking on Pinterest for something new and easy to make for dinner and came across this recipe, which I adapted (based on what I had on hand) to make the dish you see. We were all very pleased with how it turned out! My recipe is below:

One Pot Chicken Rice Chili

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 onion, diced

1 12 oz can of chunk chicken (or the same amount of your own cooked chicken, beef or sausage)

5 cups of chicken broth

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

3/4 c of red kidney beans

3/4 c. of garbanzo beans (or any white bean)

1/5 cups of kale, torn into small pieces

1 tsp of chili powder

1 tsp of cumin

salt and pepper to taste

10 oz of brown rice (I used parboiled)

3/4 cup of shredded cheese

Instructions:

Heat oil in large skillet or pot.  Add onions and cook until soft, about five minutes.   Add chicken.

Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes, beans, kale and spices.  Bring to a simmer.  Stir in rice.    Bring to a boil.  Cover, reduce heat and simmer until rice is cooked through.

Remove from heat.  Top with cheese and cover until melted, about 2 minutes.

Serve with sour cream, avocado or salsa if you wish.
