directions
- In a large pot made for sauces, or a Dutch Oven, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Brown the chicken pieces until nicely colored and cooked through (about 7-8 minutes). Remove chicken to a large bowl and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the rest of the butter and melt. Sauté the peppers and onions until the onions become translucent. Add in the garlic and sauté for 1 minute longer. Add the flour to create a roux.
- Add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan and stir in the heavy cream. Lower the heat and simmer until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Crush the canned tomatoes by hand and add to the pot, using all of the liquid. Turn the heat back up to medium-high. Add in the beer, green chiles, cumin, coriander, cayenne, chili powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil.
- Once chili has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low. Add the chicken back in and cover. Simmer for one hour.
- After one hour, turn off flame and taste; adjust the seasonings, if needed, with salt and pepper.
- Garnish wish chopped scallions, pickled jalapenos, shredded cheddar-jack cheese, and corn chips.
