5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 can (10 ounces) whole tomatoes and green chilies, crushed
2 cans (one 15 ounces and one 8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (12 ounces) beer, or 12 ounces chicken stock
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, with liquid
1 cup baby corn, optional
1/3 cup pitted, sliced ripe olives
2 teaspoons minced cilantro leaves, optional

In Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add chicken and sauté for about 4 minutes each side, or until no longer pink. Remove chicken from pot; wipe pot dry.

Heat remaining oil in pot. Add and sauté onion, garlic, bell pepper and cumin seed for 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in chili powder, oregano, tomatoes and chilies, tomato sauce, beer, and salt and pepper. Add chicken back to pot.
