Welcome to Dane Dane's Kitchen! I'm Dana, known affectionately by some as Dane Dane. After living numerous places around the world, I have experienced all kinds of cuisine and often integrate it into my family's daily meals. I generally don't use many recipes but cook from sight, feel, taste and texture. It's always frustrating when people ask for a recipe and I can't really give them the exacts. So, I've tried to work some of our favorites into something to share. If you see something that interests you, join in, put your own spin on it, have fun and enjoy food!

Easy Spicy Chicken Chili

6-8 boneless chicken breasts
2 TBS oil
4 green onions diced
1 red bell pepper diced
1 TBS minced garlic
2 cans kidney beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 large can tomato puree
4 TBS chili powder
6 TBS taco seasoning (two packets)
3 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. coriander
1 TBS vinegar
2 TBS sugar
1 TBS red pepper flakes
Salt to taste (1 tsp+-)
Stock from cooked chicken( or water to desired thickness)

Brown chicken breasts in 2 TBS of oil then dice them and set aside. Use remaining oil and juices to brown diced onions, bell pepper and garlic. Place the chicken and browned veg. into a soup pot on medium heat. Once they are sizzling pour in diced tomatoes, juice and all. Move it around with a spoon about 30 seconds, then pour in two cans of beans, juice and all. Add leftover chicken stock or about 2 cups water. Add the vinegar, sugar and all the spices. Stir it gently until all the spices get wet. Add the can of tomato puree and let the chili simmer until desired thickness. We like it thick but if thinner consistency is desired simply add more stock or water. (Adjust the spices if you do not want as hot a chili) Works great in a crock pot!

Top with cheddar cheese and sour cream! Em, Em Em!
