I made this for our Halloween party and everyone commented on how great the chicken in it was. The secret is marinating it in tequilla and grilling it. My teenaged son and his friend enjoyed it (another surprised look from the friend when he said "it was good." It makes a lot of marinade, so I used the rest for fajitas!

TEQUILA CHICKEN CHILI

Tequila Chicken Chili image

DH and I made this chili from Normal Kolpas' "The Chili Cookbook" and really enjoyed it. We served it over basmati rice. While the recipe calls for masa harina, I really didnt think the chili needed thickening (it was plenty thick) and in the last chili recipe I included it in, I thought it detracted from the flavor a little bit. Therefore, I omitted it in this one.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon medium-hot pure chile powder
1 tablespoon whole cumin seed
1 teaspoon dried red chili pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 1/2 lbs ground chicken
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup tequila
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely shredded basil leaves
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons dried leaf basil
2 teaspoons dried savory
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons masa harina
steamed rice, to serve
fresh fresh cilantro stem, for garnish
fresh lime wedge, for garnish

Steps:

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, chile powder, cumin seeds, chile flakes, and coriander and saute 2 to 3 minutes.
Add chicken, increase heat to high, and saute until no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring to break meat into rough chunks.
Stir in remaining ingredients except masa, rice, and garnishes.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is fairly thick, but still slightly liquid, about 1 1/4 hours.
Sprinkle in masa, stir and simmer until thick, about 15 minutes more.
Serve over steamed rice and garnish with cilantro sprigs and lime wedges.

Cook the chicken properly: Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry, so be careful not to overcook it.
Don't skimp on the spices: Chili is a dish that should be full of flavor, so don't be afraid to add plenty of spices.
Let the chili simmer: Letting the chili simmer for a while will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
