- 1 large sweet onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 (15 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (8 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

- ½ (6 ounce) can tomato paste, or more as needed
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add diced tomatoes, all beans, corn, bell peppers, 3 ounces tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix well. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding more tomato paste as needed to thicken, until peppers have softened, about 30 minutes.

Reviews
I made this as written, using the entire can of tomato paste. It was not a huge hit with my family. They complained it had too much bell pepper and tasted okay, but not great. It was missing something. With a few tweaks I am sure this could be a great recipe.
Used Rotel tomatoes, added potatoes. Very good!!!
