Spicy chicken chili with maple syrup

This chili was a hit. One of my family favorites. Chili is such a great meal that one can do what they like, add whatever your heart desires. It is also a healthy meal that is high in fiber and protein. Add some veggies like corn or a few fresh spinach leaves.

1 -leek

2 -green onions

5 -cloves of garlic

1 -2 Thai Red chili peppers

1 tbs olive oil
