Chili, you see, is something of national, excuse me, state pride (I forgot for a moment that Texas is no longer its own country) and must be made of beef and have a deep red color through out. It is not low fat and does not have a lot of vegetables, (though one must remember that peppers are a kind of fruit, seeds on the inside) but onions are vegetables and all my Texas chili has onion (without complaint from the chili board).
Today though, i dared to make something I called green chili chicken chili and i now wait for the dreaded knock on my door, even though i am many states away...
Green Chicken Chili
1.
3
lbs of ground chicken
2.
5
green chilies, diced
3.
1
and 1/2 red onion, diced
4.
16
oz Recaito (from Goya)
5.
1
tablespoon chili powder (commercial)
6.
juice
of 1 lime
7.
1
or 2 beers (minus a swig or 2)
8.
1
cup bell peppers, diced
9.

to taste
all
my chili is begun by cooking the meat first, adding liquid and then all the
peppers and onions and then the spices.
I cook for a minimum of 3 hours at a low simmer,
adding more beer as needed
