People who have tasted this thick mix of beans, spices, and chicken can't get enough. I've placed in my workplace's annual Halloween chili cook-off for the last three years. Looks strange — tastes great! Serve with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and warm flour tortillas.

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, place the vegetable oil and chicken. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until all pieces are evenly brown. Stir in the onions. Cook until translucent. Drain mixture and set aside.
