Spicy Chicken Chorizo Chili
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 pound chorizo sausage, chopped
  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can white beans, drained
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
  • 1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat, and then pour in olive oil. Introduce the spicy Spanish sausage, chorizo, into the pot; stir constantly until it reaches a perfect golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the chorizo to a separate serving dish using a slotted spoon.
2
Next, add the chicken breast to the pot; stir and cook until it's nicely browned and has a satisfying crumbly texture, around 5 to 6 minutes. Add a pinch of warm spices, specifically chili powder and cumin, to enhance the flavors.
3
Merge the chorizo with a mix of black beans, white beans, sautéed onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic into the chicken; stir constantly until the onions start to soften and release their natural sweetness, about 5 to 6 minutes. Introduce a refreshing beverage, beer, into the pot; bring it to a gentle simmer.
4
Add diced tomatoes, rich chicken stock, and concentrated tomato paste into the pot; let it simmer until everything is heated through and harmonious, approximately 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt to bring out the flavors.
5
Finally, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for a longer period of time, allowing all the flavors to blend together in perfect harmony, about 30 minutes.
