Step 1

To a large pot, add the oil with the chicken, onion and peppers. Saute about 5 minutes, or until they become tender and the chicken is mostly cooked through.

Step 2

Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Step 3

Add in the beans, chicken stock (or beer), and seasonings. Bring to a boil.

Step 4

Reduce heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes. You can easily let it simmer for an hour to let the flavors develop even further.

Step 5

Stir the cornmeal into the chili and simmer about 10 minutes to thicken.

Step 6

Serve!
