Soup Nazi's Mexican Chicken Chili

1 pound chicken breast fillets (4 fillets)

1 tablespoon olive oil

10 cups water

2 cups chicken stock

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1 potato, peeled & chopped

1 small onion, diced

1 cup frozen yellow corn

1/2 carrot, sliced

1 celery stalk, diced

1 cup canned diced tomatoes

1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, plus liquid

1/4 cup diced canned pimento

1 jalapeno, diced

1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley

1 clove garlic, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon salt

dash cayenne pepper

dash basil

dash oregano

On the side

Sour cream

Pinch chopped Italian parsley

1. Sauté the chicken breasts in the olive oil in a large pot over medium/high heat. Cook the chicken* on* both* side

until done about 7-10 minutes per side. Cool the chicken until it can be handled. Do not rinse the pot.

2. Shred the chicken by hand into bite-sizes pieces and place the pieces back into the pot.

3. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and turn heat to high. Bring mixture to a boil,* then* reduce* heat* and simmer for 4-5 hours. Stir mixture
often so that many of the chicken pieces shred* into* much* smaller* bits.* Chili should reduce substantially to thicken and darken (less orange, more
brown) when done.

4. Combine some chopped Italian parsley with sour cream and serve it on the side for topping the chili, if desired.
