    Recipe Summary
    Difficulty: Easy
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
    Yield: 6 servings

    List of Ingredients




    4 cups chopped yellow onions (3 onions)
    1/8 cup good olive oil, plus extra for chicken
    1/8 cup minced garlic (2 cloves)
    2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and large-diced
    2 yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded, and large-diced
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, or to taste
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
    2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for chicken
    2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled plum tomatoes in puree, undrained
    1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves
    4 split chicken breasts, bone in, skin on
    Freshly ground black pepper

    For serving:
    Chopped onions, corn chips, grated cheddar, sour cream

    Cook the onions in the oil over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, cayenne, and salt. Cook for 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes by hand or in batches in a food processor fitted with a steel blade (pulse 6 to 8 times). Add to the pot with the basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

    Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until just cooked. Let cool slightly. Separate the meat from the bones and skin and cut it into 3/4-inch chunks. Add to the chili and simmer, uncovered, for another 20 minutes. Serve with the toppings, or refrigerate and reheat gently before serving.
