- 1 stalk celery chopped
- 10 mushrooms chopped
- 1 can diced tomatoes 398mL
- 3 cans stewed tomatoes with Italian seasoning 398mL

- 1 full rotisserie chicken shredded

Instructions
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Continue cooking until browned and fully cooked.
- Stir in the diced onion, bell peppers, celery, jalapeños, and mushrooms. Cook until softened, allowing the vegetables to release their flavors.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and water, stirring until well combined.
- Sprinkle in the chili powder, lots of salt & black pepper, and cayenne for extra heat. Stir in the shredded chicken, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
- Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Allow it to cook uncovered for at least one hour, stirring occasionally to deepen the flavors and thicken the texture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with optional toppings such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, greek yogurt, or fresh green onions.
