The weather in the Northeastern part of the U.S. has definitely been frightful within the last week. What better dish to make on a cold night like this is White Bean Chicken Chili. Now I have to be honest.....I hate beans, but my friends at work, John and Lori asked me to come up with a recipe for this dish. So I came up with a quick recipe that is easy to make after a long day at work.
You will need the following:
* Chicken ( Breast or Thighs)
* White Kidney Beans
* Peppers ( The color of your choice)
* 1 Can of Green Chilis
* Onions
* Chili Powder
* 1 Can of Diced Tomatoes
* Salt
* Pepper
* Chicken Broth
* Flour
* Corn
* Olive or Canola Oil
* Hot Sauce
Wash, season and cook your chicken. I like to grill mine a little to get the smoky flavor and then cook it the rest of the way in the pot after I have chopped it up.
While the chicken is cooking, this is a good time to chop up your vegetables.
In a large pot with about 3 tablespoons of oil, sautee' the veggies for 5-7 minutes.
Add in the chopped chicken and continue to stir.
Once the chicken and the veggies have been married, stir in the chicken broth. Allow to simmer on low heat.
After about 5-10 minutes, stir in the white beans, corn, tomatoes and green chili peppers. Continue to stir and allow to simmer.
To thicken your sauce stir in about 2 to 3 tablespoons of flour. Thicken to your satisfaction. If it comes out too thick, add a little water to thin your broth out.
Season with salt, pepper, chili powder and a few dashes of hot sauce. If you want more "heat", add more seasoning.
Serve with or without rice with cornbread.
Enjoy!
