White Chicken Chili

Submitted by Corey Creasey  
 
INGREDIENTS   INSTRUCTIONS

3-4 pounds of chicken breasts
6 cups of chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium brown onions, chopped
8 large garlic cloves, chopped
4 green chilies, chopped
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1-1/2 pounds of white beans
Salt
Tabasco
4 cups of grated Monterey Jack cheese

 

In a 6 quart pot, combine the chicken with the chicken broth. Cook the chicken with the broth, until the chicken is done enough to shred up. Remove the chicken from the broth and skim off any chicken fat. Shred the chicken and return to the pot. Add 3 cups of water to broth. In a pan, sauté the chopped onions until lightly brown (approx. 8 minutes) and add the chopped garlic to sauté with the onions for about 1 minute. Now add the onions and garlic to the pot with the chicken. Add the chopped chilies, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, and white beans to the pot. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Add salt and Tabasco to taste.

Serve piping hot with a handful of grated cheese over the chili. You could add sour cream, salsa or lime wedges as garnish. Serves 6 to 8.
