We had a rainy, chilly day last weekend. I needed to go out and run some errands, but I also had a couple of house projects I needed to start. A friend asked me to bring tools over to help her hang some things in her house, so I did that too. I wanted something easy to make, so I schemed up a set it and forget it chili with frozen chicken breasts I had in the freezer. This chili is hearty and has a little bit of spiciness to it. You can leave out the cayenne pepper if you don’t want it spicy. You can also use different beans if you don’t want to use kidney beans. I originally wanted to use great northern beans, but I didn’t have any on hand. The chili made great leftovers for lunches during the week.
