Cook chicken, either grill or boil, and cut up. In a large stockpot saute onions and garlic in the olive oil. Add all remaining ingredients dow to salt and pepper. Let simmer for at least 20 minutes or put in a crockpot and let it simmer all day. Just before serving mix in xour cream, use as little or as much as you prefer. Add some lime juice. Ladle into bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro, cheese, and if wanted more lime. Also good with diced avocados, tomatoes, and lime tortilla chips. This is a family favorite. I even won a chili contest with it...ok it was just a little church contest, but it is still tasty!!
