New White Chicken Chili
This is my new recipe for White Chicken Chili. It is a compilation of several recipes, and I think it is delcious!
Julie's NEW Easy White Chile for the Crockpot
Ingredients:
1 1/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken cut into 1 inch pieces (I now use all the meat except the legs off of a rotisserie chicken.SO EASY!)
2 or 3 cans 15.5 oz. Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained (Or, a combination of canned Great Northern, Navy, Cannellini or Pinto beans.)
1 32 oz. carton Swanson chicken broth
1 pint heavy cream
1 large sweet onion, chopped into medium pieces
3 T instant chicken bouillon granules, or to taste
(I like my white chili to have a chicken taste. You may substitute bouillon cubes.)
2 t ground cumin
1 t ground oregano
2 t minced garlic (fresh or from a jar that you find in produce section)
1 T chili powder
1 t salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Enough water to make it soup-like instead of stew-like
THE HOT STUFF- You decide
1 to 2 chipotles in adobo sauce, sliced, with all the sauce from the can (This can be hard to find, but it is the Mexican section.)
1 3 oz. can chopped green chilies, with liquid (Mexican section of store.)
12 slices jarred jalapeno, diced (Mexican section of store.)
The last time I made this, instead of jalapeno pepper slices,I bought a fresh Anaheim pepper and diced it up to add. I made sure to take out the seeds and white membrane. It isn't suppose to be real hot, and it wasn't, but it gave the chili a nice bite.
Directions:
Add beans, onions, chicken, broth, bouillon, cream and seasonings to crockpot. Stir to mix. Cover
and turn to high for 3 to 4 hours, or low for all day.
Garnish with any of the following:
Chopped green onions, shredded cheese of your choice, sour cream and tortilla chips. Some recipes say to add some chopped cilantro and the juice of 1/2 a lime to each bowl. Your preference.

6 slices bacon, diced
½ cup chopped onions
2 cups diced peeled potatoes
2 10 oz. packages frozen corn

1 can cream of celery soup
1 soup can water

Dash ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

It is suppose to snow today, but not until this afternoon. I made it out to the Y to get my exercise class in. Then I came home, showered, got dressed and did as all good Southerners do with the forecast of snow, rushed to the grocery store!
I had a list of some things I needed, and thankfully the store wasn't crowded yet. I guess because this snow may go south of us, and it should all be melted by tomorrow. I had added to the list on the way out the door, ingredients for chili and ingredients for white chicken chili. I wasn't sure which I wanted to make. I do need to have lists for these things now-a-days because although I've made these recipes or variations of them for a long time, at my age, I occasionally forget things. (And, I know I'm not the only one! :o)
I decided on the white chicken chili when I got to the store and have used the following recipe most recently. My taste tester, aka, Sam, tells me, "It is a keeper. You can make this again." White chicken chili is kind of like a thick chicken soup with white beans, but no noodles. It has a Southwest flair, or at least the versions I've made; we love Mexican or Tex-Mex foods, so this recipe IS a keeper. I've tweaked this recipe a bit, making it according to which ingredients I have on hand, but it usually looks something like this:
Easy White Chili
Serves: 4 or 2 very hungry people!
Ingredients:
3 skinless chicken breasts, boiled until done, cooled and the meat picked off the bones
1 32oz. container of chicken broth
2 15oz. cans great northern beans, with liquid
1 large onion, chopped roughly
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground oregano
2 C water
2 chicken bullion cubes
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can (3 oz.) chopped green chilies, with liquid
Directions: Add all ingredients except the chopped green chilies to a crockpot. Cover and heat for at least 1 hour on HI and up to 8 hours on LOW. Garnish with green chopped, shredded cheese, tortilla chips or jalapenos! (optional) This recipe adapted from CDKitchen for Bob Talbert`s White Chili
