White Chili Recipes

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 to 6 cups chicken stock
• 4 cups diced cooked chicken, cubed (I like the breast, but dark meat works just as well)
• 3 cans (16 ounces each) Navy beans
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Grated sharp cheddar cheese

White Chili Recipe Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes. or until the vegetables are softened slightly. Add the chilies, cumin and cayenne and cook for about 10 more minutes. Add 4 cups of the chicken stock, the beans and the chicken and cook over low heat for about 1 hour, adding stock if necessary. If using canned beans and pre-cooked chicken, add the beans and chicken after about 40 minutes and cook 20 minutes to blend flavors. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with grated cheese, if desired. Note: To pre-cook chicken, boil it in water until cooked. Allow it cool and remove from bone. You can either coarsely shred or chop it. Serve and enjoy this white chili recipe!
