Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in Dutch oven set over medium heat; cook chicken for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned all over. Remove chicken from pan; set aside.

Cook bacon for 2 to 3 minutes or until fat starts to render and bacon is browned around edges. Stir in onion and garlic; cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is slightly softened.
Step three

Stir in beer, Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, brown sugar and bay leaves; bring to boil. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates.
