Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large pot over medium-low heat and add olive oil. Add in the peppers, onions and garlic cloves with the salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  2. Stir in the shredded chicken breasts, along with the cumin, paprika and chili powder. Stir and mix until everything is coated, then cook for another 5 minutes. Use the beer to deglaze the pan - pour it in and stir to remove all the brown bits from the bottom.
  3. Add in the beans, chicken stock, lime juice and salsa verde. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce it to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, just so everything can come together.
  4. Serve with a dollop of the yogurt, tortilla chips, fresh cilantro, radish slices
salted yogurt
  1. Whisk together the ingredients until combined. This stays good in the fridge for a day or two!
