In saucepan, heat canola oil over medium heat and cook onion, chicken, garlic, chili powder and cumin for about 8 minutes or until onion is softened and chicken is no longer pink and starting to brown.

Stir in tomato paste and parsley until coated. Add broth, peppers and salsa; bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes or until peppers are tender but firm.
