It was warm this afternoon but tonight it's cold again. Only a few more days until Spring truly begins and days begin to really warm up. Until then I'm still craving food that can take the chill off. And nothing does that better than chili. I shared my favorite veggie chili recipe a few days ago. Today I'm giving you my award winning - yes that's right - award winning White Chicken Chili recipe. I am the reigning Pisces Birthday Party chili-cook off champ. Just look at the trophy. Oh wait, I didn't get a trophy. But who needs one when I've got the best recipe. Ha.
White Chicken Chili
1 pound dried navy beans
5 cups stock
4 teaspoons butter (1/2 stick)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 cup diced onion
1 1/2 cups chopped green chilies (fresh or canned)
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
1-2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 pound chicken breasts, chopped
Soak beans for 2 hours, then place beans and stock in a large pot and bring to a boil. Heat butter and add the garlic, onion and chilies and saute for 5 minutes. Add chili mix to the pot with the beans. Add chicken, cumin, oregano, pepper, white pepper, pepper flakes and cilantro. Lower the heat to medium and cook stirring occasionally for approximately 1 1/2 hours.
