"Next to jazz music, there is nothing that lifts the spirit and strengthens the soul more than a good bowl of chili." -Harry James, Author
This is a super simple chili to make and so versatile. You don't need to cut up the chicken thighs. As the chili simmers they will cook gently for the perfect texture.
You could use leftover cooked chicken or turkey also. On top of being so easy it is everything that is great about a Mediterranean style diet: lean meat, good fats, legumes, and veggies all made fresh in your kitchen with all of 10 minutes prep time.

Place the olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes.
Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 – 5 minutes until the onions have softened slightly. Add the ground turkey and cook until the turkey is lightly browned.
Add the water, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, cinnamon and black beans. Stir.
When the chili begins to boil reduce the heat to medium or low so that the chili will simmer. Cook for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve topped with 1/2 ounce shredded cheese and 1 Tablespoon sour cream per serving and sprinkle the cilantro over the top.
