Tequila Chicken Chili

Okay, so I sent my boyfriend to the store, which wasn't a complete disaster, but a few things would've been a little different. It still turned out good tho. Ingredient list: an onion, garlic, green chili pepper, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, coriander, tequila, chicken stock, 1 lime, chicken breast, 3 cans of white beans, I used a mixture of pinto, cannellini beans, and great northern beans.

First things first, poach your chicken breasts. I put a little onion, garlic, salt and pepper in with the chicken to give it some flavor. Once the chicken is done chop it into small cubes.

Set this aside. Chop up onion and chili pepper and mince your garlic. Heat about a tbsp of olive oil in a pot on med-high. Once oil is hot add the chopped onion. Let that cook for about 5 minutes and then add the garlic and pepper.

*sidenote While I usually use a chili pepper and this is what I recommend I actually used a bell pepper here because my boyfriend doesn't know the difference between a bell pepper and chili pepper. Anyway, it still came out good, I add a little cayenne pepper for some spice though.

Add some Kosher salt and pepper to season. Then add about a tbsp of cumin, a tsp of chili powder, and 2 tsp of coriander. Let this cook for about 2-3 minutes. Add the juice from one lime, a half cup of tequila, and 2 cups of chicken stock.

Now take a shot of that tequila while this simmers for 15 minutes. Take about half of the beans and put them into a bowl and smush them with a fork. They should look something like this:

Gross right? Lol. Now add these and the whole beans to the pot. Then add the cubed chicken.

Let that cook for maybe another 10 minutes.

And to me chili just ain't chili without cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips.

Okay, writing this post is making me hungry and everyone knows chili is better the second day. See ya!
