Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 14 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 0.25 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, sliced

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced green bell pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, raisins, and sliced olives.
Season the mixture with cumin, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the Chickadillo hot over rice, with tortillas, or enjoy it on its own!
