I started w/dry beans; soaked them overnight then cooked them in a pressure cooker. Followed the rest of the recipe as is. Served w/corn bread. It was DELICIOUS that day and even better the next day.

This simple, tasty recipe is a big hit. Easy to prepare and it comes together quickly for an enjoyable chicken chili that everyone in my family likes. I have added one can of black beans for 1 of the kidney beans and like that version also, but the original is my favorite. I serve with corn break and a small salad for a complete meal.
