2 pinches thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Season chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, pepper and thyme.
Grill 5 minutes on each side, or till cooked thoroughly (you could probably pan fry them as well, but the grilled flavour is great in this chili).
Shred chicken into small pieces and reserve.
On stovetop, in a large pot, saute onions, zucchini, corn and garlic in a bit of oil on med-low heat for about 10 minutes.
Add black beans and spices(salt, pepper and sugar included), and saute another two minutes.
Add tomato sauce and let simmer, covered, for about 15-20 minutes.
Stir in chicken and let simer, covered for another 5 minutes.
