How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this scrumptious chili:

1. In a large pot, simmer the beans, half the onions, and half the garlic in the chicken stock for about 2 hours, or until the beans soften. Remember to stir often!
2. Once the beans are tender, add the diced chicken and salsa to the pot. Stir well to combine.
3. Wash, seed, and dice your jalapeno peppers. This adds a lovely kick to the chili!
4. In a separate pan, sauté the jalapeno peppers, remaining onions, remaining garlic, and spices (oregano, cumin, and cayenne) in the vegetable oil. Once fragrant, add this mixture to the pot and let it simmer for one more hour.
5. Finally, serve your chili garnished with sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, and fresh chopped cilantro for that extra burst of flavor!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your chili turns out perfectly:

• For a quicker version, you can use canned great northern beans instead of soaking them overnight.
• Adjust the heat by adding more or fewer jalapenos based on your preference.
• If you love creamy textures, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream right before serving.
• For a twist, try adding corn or bell peppers to the mix!
