1 onion
1 green pepper

Steps:

Dice peppers and onion into 1/4 inch and toss into the pot add 3 tbs olive oil some salt and pepper. Saute 5 minutes or so. Drain and rinse beans. Add diced tomatoes to pot, then beans, seasoning and chicken stock set to simmer. Clean chicken up and slice to cook seperatly in a skillet to brown in 2 tbs olive oil. Once cooked remove and dice to 1/4 inch pieces like the onions. return to the pan and sprinkle cumin and chili powder and brown up and tender is achieved. Add chicken to the pot. You should have a thin chili. Simmer for up to eight hours. more chicken stock or broth might be needed if a long simmer is achieved. I like to thicken with potato flakes. add a little at a time to achieve the thickness you enjoy the most.
