Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cup thinly sliced Fresno peppers (2 to 4 peppers)

  • ¾ cup cider vinegar

  • 4 teaspoon sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size strips

  • 1 cup chopped onion

Cook about 3 minutes or until onion is tender but not brown. Stir in beans and remaining 1 Tbsp. chipotle peppers. Cook and stir 4 to 5 minutes or until heated through. Season to taste with additional salt and black pepper.
