Set a large frying pan to medium-high and add oil. Chop the onions, cut the chicken into small, bite size pieces and rinse and drain the beans. Now that your pain is hot, add onion and cook, stirring until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Add chicken, chili powder, cumin salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes, and broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to medium-low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the cover and sprinkle flour in to the mix. Stir for 1 minute, then cover and cook for 3 more minutes.

Review: Nice, flavorful chili. It's definitely not a 'white' chili, it has a heavy tomato taste which I like. I wish it had 4 servings as opposed to 3, but it's a great one. It's nice to top with saltines too!
