Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, combine the ground chicken and water. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking up the chicken into small pieces, until the chicken is no longer pink. (Approximately 5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, jalapeños, and minced garlic to the pot. Continue to cook until the vegetables have softened and most of the liquid has evaporated. (Approximately 5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Stir in the crumbled beef bouillon, chili powder, salt, dried basil, dried oregano, ground thyme, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Reduce the heat to medium. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed to achieve your desired flavor profile.

04

Step
50 mins

Incorporate the drained pinto beans, great northern beans, and sweet corn into the mixture. Add the white sugar, cream cheese, and sour cream. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and the cream cheese is fully melted.

05

Step

Pour in the beer, stirring to incorporate it evenly throughout the chili.

06

Step

Reduce the heat to low, cover the Dutch oven, and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground chicken in a separate pan before adding it to the Dutch oven.
Adjust the amount of jalapeños and cayenne pepper to control the spiciness of the chili.
Feel free to experiment with different types of beans or add other vegetables like diced tomatoes or zucchini.
Serve with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, avocado, or a dollop of sour cream.
The chili tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
