Ingredients

6 large chicken breast halves with skin and bones

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 large onions, coarsely chopped

6 garlic cloves, minced

1 jalape‱o chili, minced

1/4 cup chili powder

3 tablespoons ground cumin

1 tablespoon dried oregano

2 teaspoons ground coriander

1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes in purée

2 12-ounce bottles of beer

2 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth

2 15 1/4-ounce cans kidney beans, rinsed, drained

Salsa, crushed tortilla chips, chopped green onions, sour cream and grated cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1
Arrange chicken in single layer in large skillet. Add enough water to cover chicken; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Drain chicken; cool slightly. Remove skin and bones; coarsely shred meat. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Step 2
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeño chili; sauté 1 minute. Mix in chili powder, cumin, oregano and coriander. Add tomatoes, beer and broth. Bring to simmer. Simmer over medium-low heat 1 hour to blend flavors, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add beans to chili. Simmer uncovered until chili thickens, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Add shredded chicken. Simmer until chicken is heated through.
Step 4
Ladle chili into bowls. Serve with salsa, chips, green onions, sour cream and cheese.
