Chicken Chili

It's too early to be this cold out when it's not officially winter yet.  I made this spicy meal on a day when the temperature didn't get above 0 degrees Fahrenheit.  It took only an hour to cook but the warmth it created lasted much longer.

Chicken Chili

1# chicken breasts, cubed into bite sized pieces
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cups chicken broth
2 cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup onions, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp green chilies, chopped
1 tbsp chili seasoning  (my homemade recipe below)

Lightly brown chicken pieces in olive oil in a dutch oven or large saucepan.  Add in onions and garlic and let cook an additional couple of minutes.  Add in broth and remainder of ingredients.  Simmer for one hour.
