Ingredients
    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    3/4 lb chorizo sausage, chopped
    2 lbs ground chicken
    3 tablespoons chili powder
    1 tablespoon cumin
    1 onion, chopped
    3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    1 red bell pepper, chopped
    1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
    1 (12 ounce) bottle beer
    1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes (fire roasted)
    salt
    6 cups chicken stock
    2 cups quick-cooking polenta
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 scallions, finely chopped
    2 tablespoons thyme leaves, chopped
Preparation
    Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat with 1 T olive oil.
    Add chorizo and render its fat, 2 minutes.
    Push the chorizo off to the sides of the skillet and add ground chicken. Brown and crumble the chicken, cooking 5-6 minutes. Season the chicken with chili powder and cumin while it cooks.
    Combine the onion, garlic, peppers and beans to meats and cook another 5-6 minutes.
    Stir the beer into the chili and reduce the liquid a minute then add the tomatoes and heat though. Season the chili with salt, to taste, and reduce heat to low.
    Bring 6 cups stock to a boil in a medium pot, stir in polenta and keep stirring until the polenta masses and thickens to a porridge, 2-3 minutes.
    Stir in butter, scallions and thyme and season with salt, to taste.
    Fill bowls halfway with polenta and make a well in the center. Fill up bowls with chili and serve.
