White Chicken Chili

Stovetop - 30 minutes. Serves 6

Ingredients:

1 lb boneless chicken breast, 1/2" cubes
1 medium onion, chopped
1.5 tsp garlic powder
1 T oil
2 cans Great Northern Beans (15.5 oz each), rinsed/drained
1 can chicken broth
2 cans chopped green chilies
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 c sour cream
1/2 c whipping cream

Directions:

Saute the chicken, onion and garlic in oil until no longer pink. 

Add the beans, broth, chilies and seasonings.  Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and whipping cream.

Notes:

I use dried beans that I soak overnight, fresh garlic, and homemade chicken broth. 
I have used olive oil, veggie oil, and coconut oil. 
I always add way more water when I make the chicken broth so it's more like a soup to serve a larger amount of people. 
Very good as a chili and won an award at the town Heritage Days Chili Cook-off.

Try adding tomatillos.

My family LOVES this recipe.

1 cup all purpose flour, cornmeal, wheat flour your choice
1 to 2 tablespoons butter
4 to 8 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt

Place the flour into your food processor. Add the melted butter. 1 tablespoons for crispy and 2 tablespoons for crunchy. Add salt. Pulse until well blended. 

Add the water a tablespoon at a time until you get a ball that sticks together (be careful not to add to much water). 

Place dough on a floured board and roll until 1/8 inch thick. Place on cookie sheet.    At this time you can dock the dough if you would like. (This keeps out some of the air bubbles).

Place in a 400 degree oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Watching after 10 minutes. Until light brown on outside edges. Remove from pan and let cool completely. Break into serving size portions.
