Method
Step 1
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large heavy-bottomed stock pot. Add onions and garlic and cook about 3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook onions and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, celery, peppers and serrano chiles and season with salt and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the chili powder and cumin and cook until fragrant and the vegetables are coated in seasoning. Add beer and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add chipotle, adobo sauce and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Stir in the beans and shredded chicken then reduce to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Just before serving, stir in 2 ounces dark chocolate until completely melted, if using.
Step 3
Serve chili with sour cream, cheese and cilantro. Top with pieces of cornbread if desired.
