Time 4h20m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb great northern while beans, rinsed and picked over
2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups onions, chopped
4 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped mild green chilies
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 cups chicken stock
1 (12 ounce) can beer
3 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded and divided
sour cream
salsa
fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Place beans in a large, heavy pot. Add enough cold water to cover by at least 3 inches. Cover and soak overnight.
  • Place chicken in a large, heavy saucepan and add cold water to cover. Bring to a simmer. Cook until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool. Remove skin and cut chicken into cubes.
  • Drain beans into large colander. Heat oil in same pot. Add onions and saute over medium-low heat until translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, green chiles, cumin, oregano, cloves and cayenne. Saute 2 minutes. Add beans and stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are very tender, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 4 hours. Add additional water if necessary. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and bring to a simmer before continuing.) Add chicken, beer and 1 cup of cheese. Stir until cheese melts. Ladle chili into bowls. Serve with remaining cheese, sour cream, salsa and cilantro leaves to sprinkle on top.
  • To quick-soak beans, add enough water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to boil, cover and remove from heat. Soak for 2 hours.

This chili is the best! I've tried many different chili recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. It's the perfect balance of spicy and flavorful.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this chili with black beans and lentils instead of meat. It turned out great! The chili was still very flavorful and satisfying.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover meat. I always have some leftover pork or beef in the freezer, and this is the perfect recipe to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of chili, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so flavorful and satisfying. I'll definitely be making it again.

This chili is way too spicy for me. I could only eat a few bites before I had to stop.

I followed the recipe exactly and my chili turned out bland. I think I must have done something wrong.

This is my new go-to chili recipe. It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I love that I can adjust the heat level to my liking by adding more or less chili powder.

I made this chili for a party last weekend and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of the chocolate and coffee, which gave it a unique and delicious flavor.

This chili is amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The flavors are so rich and complex, and the heat level is just right. I served it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced onions, and it was a hit with my family and
