Lousana's Chili

I haven't tried this, but I want to! Lousana my sister-in-law gave us this recipe. Yummy!

shredded cooked chicken, roasted at 350F for 1/2 hour
onions
garlic
red bell pepper
carrots
jalapeno pepper
chipotle peppers in adobo
cumin
chili pepper
dried oregano
brown sugar
fresh tomatoes or tinned
tomato paste
various canned beans (or fresh if you have the time)
frozen corn
good quality broth
cheddar cheese
scallions/red onions
cilantro
sour cream
lime
  1. shred chicken
  2. sautee onions until softened, add one garlic clove minced
  3. add chopped red bell peppers, carrots, jalapeno pepper
  4. add chipotle peppers, sautee for a few minutes
  5. add some cumin and chili pepper, cocoa, and dried oregano, brown sugar to taste
  6. put chicken in pot
  7. add chopped tomatoes (or 28 oz can good quality tinned tomatoes) and tomato paste
  8. add beans (black, kidney, cannelini)
  9. add corn
  10. add broth, enough to cover and let simmer until thickens to your liking (can cover it first for a while--maybe half hour--then uncover and let it reduce/thicken for another 15 minutes; tastier if slow cooked for an hour or more)
  11. serve it with brown rice, garnish with cheddar cheese, scallions or chopped red onions, cilantro, lime and sour cream (!).
