Light&Easy Chicken Chili

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 onions (I usually only use one)
2 cloves minced garlic
1 lb ground chicken( or turkey)
1 cup each chopped carrot & celery
1 sweet red or green pepper, chopped
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tsp ground cumin
3/4 Tsp dried oregano
1/2 Tsp salt(I don't put salt in)
1/4 Tsp each hot pepper flakes and pepper
1 can tomatoes (28 oz/796 ml)
1 can (19 oz/540 ml) red kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 can (19 oz/540 ml) chick-peas drained and rinsed
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Cook onions and garlic in oil, then add chicken and cook until no
longer pink. Add carrot, celery, red/green pepper, chili powder,
cumin,
oregano, salt, hot pepper flakes and pepper.

Pour in tomatoes and kidney beans, bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover
and simmer for 15 minutes. Add chick-peas; simmer for 15 minutes.
Garnish with parsley. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

I also use mushrooms if I have them. I just put everything in the pot
once the chicken is cooked and let it simmer for awhile. And if you want a little a thicker sauce I sometimes add 140z can of plan tomato sauce.
