Chicken chilli

There's many different ways to make a good chilli.  There's veggie chilli, turkey chilli,  chicken chill, etc. But my favorite is chicken chilli. Ground chicken is very moist and juicy, so it works well in chilli.

Chicken chilli

2 pounds ground chicken

1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil

Salt 

Pepper

Paprika

1/2 cup each diced red and green pepper 

1/2 cup each diced white and red onion

1 minced garlic clove

1 cup frozen corn
