Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken cut into bite-sized pieces (I use a combination of chicken breast and thighs)
- 2 jalapeno peppers diced
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 poblano peppers (roasted, or fresh)
- 2 cans white beans (drained - 16 ounce cans)
- 2 cups chicken stock (or use a good flavored amber colored beer)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ancho powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- Hot Sauce to taste
- FOR SERVING: Crumbly white cheese, spicy chili flakes, fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- To a large pot, add the oil with the chicken, onion and peppers. Saute about 5 minutes, or until they become tender and the chicken is mostly cooked through.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add in the beans, chicken stock (or beer), and seasonings. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes. You can easily let it simmer for an hour to let the flavors develop even further.
- Stir the cornmeal into the chili and simmer about 10 minutes to thicken.
- Serve!

Notes
Heat Level: Mild-Medium. You can easily spice this up with hotter chili peppers, though there is some heat here. Hot sauce is a nice addition.
