White Chicken Chili


Sorry this picture is in the leftover version… I was so friggin' excited to sit down and eat this, that I completely forgot to snap a real picture.  The only reason there ARE any leftovers, is… well… after a long weekend, my hubby and I promised each other huge sundaes from Culvers so I passed on seconds.  Please understand my priorities.  One of my twins has been on a hunger strike lately, but ended up eating his entire bowl.  This recipe is SO a winner.

Got this recipe from a cooking class I took with Kim Kennedy (now Kim Schmitter as of yesterday afternoon!!).  It’s a simple white chicken chili recipe you can get the un-altered version online here
  1. Start with 1 or 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces.  Chop up an onion, and add it to a large pot, medium, with 1 Tbs oil and a spoonful of minced garlic.  Cook stirring frequently for about 4 min.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, put 1.5 cups chicken broth in a 2-cup measuring cup, and then add the following ingredients: 1 4oz can green chilis, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp oregano and a handful of fresh chopped cilantro.  After the 4 min from step 1 is finished, add the broth mixture to the pot.  Right when you add it, use it to get any yummy "gunk" from the sides and bottom of the pan re-mixed in.  This is awesome flavor that you don't want to leave behind.  Bring to a boil and then drop heat to simmer for about 15 min
  3. Rinse 2 cans of white kidney beans (cannellini) and add to mixture.  Continue to heat on a low boil for another 10 minutes or until the chili is thick enough.  If after 10 minutes the juice still looks like broth, you need to kick up the heat.  
  4. Serve with shredded cheese and some chopped green onion, and a Spotted Cow beer from New Glarus Brewing company.
