Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
-
10 cups water

2 cups chicken stock
-
1/2 cup tomato sauce
-
1 small onion, diced
-
1 cup frozen corn
-
1 stalk celery, diced
-
1 jalapeno, diced
-
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
-
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
-
1 teaspoon cumin
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 dash cayenne pepper
-
1 dash basil
-
1 dash oregano
-
-
sour cream
-
1 pinch chopped Italian parsley
-
1 garlic clove, minced
-
1 potato, peeled & chopped
-
1/2 carrot, sliced
-
1 cup canned diced tomato
-
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, plus liquid

1 lb chicken breast fillet (4 fillets)

1/4 cup diced canned pimiento
Instructions
- Sauté the chicken breasts in the olive oil in a large pot over medium/high heat.
- Cook the chicken on both side until done-- about 7-10 minutes per side.
- Cool the chicken until it can be handled.
- Do not rinse the pot.
- Shred the chicken by hand into bite-sizes pieces and place the pieces back into the pot.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and turn heat to high.
- Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 hours.
- Stir mixture often so that many of the chicken pieces shred into much smaller bits.
- Chili should reduce substantially to thicken and darken (less orange, more brown) when done.
- Combine some chopped Italian parsley with sour cream and serve it on the side for topping the chili, if desired.
