2. Add chicken and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove chicken with slotted spoon, set aside.
4. Add remaining olive oil, return heat to high.
5. Add onion and celery, saute till onion becomes tender. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds.
6. Add bell pepper, corn, cooked chicken, tomato sauce, tomatoes, beans, seasonings and meatless chili, bring to a boil.
7. Reduce to a simmer and cover, cook for 1 hour.
8. Add corn, uncover and continue to cook 15 minutes.
