  • Increase the heat to moderate and stir in the chicken strips. Cook until they are no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt. Add the jalapeños, the tomatoes with their juice, and the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

  • Uncover the saucepan and stir in the beans and black pepper. Simmer until the chili is thickened, about 15 minutes longer. Serve topped with the cilantro.

Serve With

Wedges of corn bread are always a good complement to chili. Or serve the chili over macaroni or rice.

Suggested Pairing

A red wine with plenty of acidity is best suited to the spice and heat here. Look for a Sangiovese from California or a Dolcetto from the Piedmont region of Italy.
