How to make it
- In a large saucepan, cover the beans with 2" of water and let soak overnight. Drain the beans, return them to the saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2". Bring to a boil over moderate heat and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Drain the beans.
- Meanwhile, put the chicken breasts in a saucepan and add the chicken stock, if necessary, add a little water to cover the chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat until the chicken is just opaque throughout, about 15 minutes. Transfer the breasts to a plate to cool, then shred. Boil the stock over high heat until reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 4 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the canned chiles, garlic, cumin and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the beans, chicken, reduced stock and 4 cups of the cheese and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt.
- Ladle the chili into large bowls and top each serving with 1/4 cup cheese and a generous sprinkling of the chopped jalapenos. Serve the sour cream and the remaining cheese and chiles on the side.
