chicken green chili sherry's way

Fall weather is upon us. This is a healthy and different alternative to traditional red chili con carne. I am using ground chicken in place of beef and freshly cooked pinto beans from my family's bean farm in Colorado to create a spicy chili. This is a real belly-warmer. Feel free to use canned green chile and eliminate the jalapenos if you need to take down the heat. Serve this up with some sweet cornbread to offset the heat.
