Delish Chicken Chili

We are a household of chili lovers. Derek typically makes the chili in the house, but when I came across Barefoot Contessa's Chicken Chili, I knew I had to try to make this one. I added some ingredients that I felt she had left out, like BEANS!!! Who doesn't add beans to chili? I also used San Marzano tomatoes because they are the tastiest little red beasts ever!!!!!!! Oh and I did not use ANY of the peppers, because I hate peppers, and refuse to eat them, and stomp my feet on the ground if they are in my food.
So here you go....I will put into parenthesis what I added to the dish.

Ingredients

* 4 cups chopped yellow onions (3 onions)
* 1/8 cup olive oil, plus extra
* olive oil, for chicken
* 1/8 cup minced garlic (2 cloves)
* 2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and large-diced
* 2 yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded, and large-diced
* 1 teaspoon chili powder
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for chicken
* 2 (28 ounce) cans tomatoes, undrained (plum tomatoes in puree suggested)I use San Marzano
* 1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaf...I used (CILANTRO) because that just makes sense.
* (1 can of Black or Red Kidney Beans drained)
* 4 chicken breast halves, bone in, skin on
* fresh ground black pepper

Cook the onions in the oil over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, cayenne, and salt. Cook for 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes by hand or in batches in a food processor fitted with a steel blade (pulse 6 to 8 times). Add to the pot with the basil, or CILANTRO, add the Beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until just cooked. Let cool slightly. Separate the meat from the bones and skin and cut it into 3/4-inch chunks. Add to the chili and simmer, uncovered, for another 20 minutes. Serve with the toppings, or refrigerate and reheat gently before serving.
