"Found an old clipping that I've had more than 20 years. This is a copycat recipe for the infamous "The Soup Nazi" restaurant. Back in the early 2000's, Zagat's New York City Survey, Le Cirque 2000, one of the city's most upscale restaurants, received a 25 rating out of a possible 30. In the same guide, "The Soup Nazi" scored a whopping 27. Now I understand why this restaurant was included in "Seinfeld's" show."
Original recipe yields 4-6 servings

Step 1
Sauté the chicken breasts in the olive oil in a large pot over medium/high heat. Cook the chicken on both sides until done for about 7-10 minutes per side. Let the chicken cook until it can be easily handled. Do not rinse the pot.
Step 2
Shred the chicken by hand into bite-sizes pieces and place the pieces back into the pot.
Step 3
Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and turn heat to high. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 hours. *NOTE: this is known to be the reason why the long simmer sets this recipe apart from most.*
Step 4
Stir the mixture often so that many of the chicken pieces shred into much smaller bits.
NOTE: Chili should reduce substantially to thicken and darken (less orange, more brown) when done.
Step 5
Combine some chopped Italian parsley with sour cream and serve it on the side for topping the chili, if desired.
