Mexican chili, salad perfect for Super Bowl Sunday

This is an intriguing one-pot chili made the Mexican way – with cinnamon. It’s perfect for two or a crowd for Super Bowl Sunday. Some like it hot, some not, but everyone loves chili. This recipe is mildly hot. Serve hot pepper sauce on the side for those who want to adjust the heat. I find the use of cooked chicken pieces in place of ground beef produces a lighter dish that’s nice for a change.

Helpful Hints

* Roasted turkey can be used instead of chicken.

* Leftover chicken or turkey can be used.

* When buying roast chicken breast at the deli counter, ask for it to be cut in a 1 1/2-inch slice weighing about 1/2 pound. It will be easier to cut into cubes.
