Easy Chicken Chili

Total Time: 5 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 5 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 4

• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
• 2 teaspoons cumin seeds (ground will not withstand long cooking as well)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
• 3 (15 ounce) cans beans, drained and rinsed (great northern or cannellini)
• 2 1/2 cups chopped bell peppers (you may use green, yellow, or red or a combination of the three which is what i do)
