Directions:Preheat oven to 350º.
Divide the chicken breasts in halves. Place onto a roasting pan. Drizzle 1 tbs. olive oil onto the chicken on both sides. In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp. chili powder, 1 tbs. cumin, 1 tsp. salt, and 2 pinches of cayenne. Spread this over the chicken and roast for about 30 minutes or until cooked thru, being careful to not overcook. Shred the chicken into pieces and set aside.
In a large pot, heat some olive oil. Sauté the onions and garlic over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until tender. Add the beans, chicken, chilies, oregano, chili powder, cumin, salt, and cayenne. Stir. Add 5 cups of the broth, reserving the rest for thinning the chili. Simmer on low 30 minutes, but do not boil.
Remove the pot from heat and let cool 5 minutes. Stir in 4 cups of cheese, 1 cup at a time. Then stir in 1 cup of sour cream. Bring pot back to a gentle simmer for 15-20 minutes. If too thick, add more broth. To make thicker, use a potato masher to mash up some of the beans and stir. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle more cheese on top of each bowl with a dollop of sour cream Serve with jalapeno slices, avocado slices, cilantro, green onions and a lime to squeeze in. If you want, you could crunch up tortilla chips in it too.

Notes: Although not Tylers cup of tea, the rest of us love this chili! I tend to really add a lot more salt and cumin when I make this but add slowly as you go until it's right for you. Also, using a mix of different chili powders together will elevate the flavor. You could easily adapt this recipe for a crock pot if you wanted.
