Chicken Chili

Last night I finally made Chicken Chili.  Ever since my sister's boyfriend made it in February, I've been trying to remember to put it on my menu!  Here's what I used:

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jar salsa (however hot you like)
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1tsp dried oregano
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn

I salted and peppered the chicken, then browned in olive oil in my dutch oven.  When they browned, I took them out and sauteed the onion and garlic.  When they were soft, I added the salsa, crushed tomatoes, oregano and brought it up to a simmer.  I added the chicken back in and simmered for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken was cooked through.  Then I took out the chicken and added the beans and corn.  They cooked while I shredded the chicken.  I added the chicken back in and we were ready to eat.
