Ready in: 55 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 16

• 1 pound skinless/boneless chicken, rinsed
• 1/2 Vidalia onion, diced
• 1/2 green bell pepper, diced, optional
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced, optional
• 3/4 bottle amber or light-colored beer
• 1 (64 ounce) can tomato juice
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can water (from the soup can)
• 1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (15 ounce) can light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup medium-spicy salsa of your choice (I like Pace since it runs a tad spicier than most medium salsas)
• 5 to 10 turns of black pepper from a pepper grinder, about 1 teaspoon
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 2/3 cup dark brown sugar

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 45 mins

1. In small skillet, cook chicken, onions, and all bell peppers in a shallow bath of beer over medium heat, stirring.
2. Once chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, about 15 minutes, remove chicken and shred with a fork. Strain the peppers/onions.
3. In a large, tall cooking pot (over 1 gallon capacity), combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil while stirring often, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer on low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.Serving Suggestion:

Feel free to season to taste. I let it be on the slightly-spicy side so that each individual can season to taste with chili powder, cheese, sour cream, or whatever they may enjoy in their chili.
