Preparation Steps

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
• Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
• Add chicken breasts to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
• Remove chicken from the pot and shred using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
• Add black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and simmer for 20–25 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
