Chicken and black bean chili

Now this might seem like a common enough dish to any reader from the USA that might have stumbled upon me, however, here in NZ its not common at all.  In fact I'd never even had black beans before until I made this recipe.  But while browsing blogs or pinterest (ahh the addiction) searching for something new and scrummy to make I came across a recipe for turkey and black bean chili.  And then as I always do I forgot all about it until I was grocery shopping and looking for a can on chickpeas I found a can of black beans.  My brain had a bubble and with a pop I remembered wanting to try chicken and black bean chili.
 

Ingredients
Dash of olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, chopped
Chicken (I used 2 large breasts), chopped in to small bite chunks or chicken mince

1/2 T ground chilis
1/2 T smoked paprika
1/2 T cumin
