Everyone loves this yummy comfort food and it's pretty easy to make. I leave out the green chiles usually my kids like it better without.

How to Make Chicken Frito Chili

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large heavy bottomed pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then brown on both sides for a total of 6 minutes. Remove to a plate.
To make chili, add onion, garlic and chili powder to pot, stirring; saute until tender 4 minutes. Return chicken to pot, stir in broth, green chiles and beans.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Add 1 1/2 cups fritos to bottom of a 2 quart casserole. Top with chili; remaining fritos, and cheese. Bake 15 minutes. Serve with cilantro, avacado and sour cream if desired.
