Jack and Lime Chicken Chili



I've been making chicken chili for years, and every time I try something new. I think the trick is to have every ingredient count, everything adds depth and a different level of flavor. The basics are always the same, red and green peppers, corn, onion, garlic, stewed tomatoes, some sort of beans, and of course some chicken. The added bonus this time was a little bit of Jack Daniels to the chicken and I "grilled" green peppers and jalapeƱo* before adding it to the mix. I don't actually have a grill, so I took a piece of tin foil, placed it over a burner and put the peppers over top. Not exactly the same, but it did the trick.

Oh yes, and top it off with some lime juice, sour cream and chedder. Yum!

*careful when handling. doesn't just burn your mouth, but your skin too!
