Yesterday was c..c..cold. And if that wasn't bad enough, it was windy too. Man, aren't those the best days for some chili? I tried out a new recipe last night. I liked it and would make it again. The husband had no comment. The 7 yr old didn't like it...but ate two bowls of it! And the 2 yr old went screaming from the table (but in all fairness, he does that nearly every night). Sheesh! We're gonna need a better rating system than that.
I ended up using a can of chicken (yeah, I don't do that often), which made this a quick, easy meal. We all need one of those once in a while!
White Chili with Chicken
Recipe from Taste of Home
1 medium onion, chopped
1 jalepeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbls vegetable oil
4 cups chicken broth
2 cans (15.5 ounces each) great nothern beans, rinsed and drained
2 Tbls minced fresh parsley (I don't do parsley)
1 Tbls lime juice
1 tsp ground cumin
2 Tbls cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
Directions
In a large saucepan, cook the onion, jalapeno and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the broth, beans, parsley, lime juice and cumin; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into chili. Add chicken. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Hmm...I might have to try this. I have been making this version for awhile: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cha-Chas-White-Chicken-Chili/Detail.aspx
ReplyDeletebut it is WAY too spicy for the kids. And it doesn't look as appetizing as your picture. I like to use cannellini beans (AKA white kidney beans).
Yours sounds good too! I didn't even think about cheese. I guess seeding the jalepeno helped because this wasn't spicy. Or maybe I just lucked out with a mild jalepeno :)
ReplyDeleteI think the hubby and I would LOVE this, pretty sure that the kids wouldn't touch it (well, Lele might give it a try), but it looks so yummy! I'm willing to take a chance! ;-)
