Google! Was looking some something a little different to make for a chili cook-off at work so I thought that a White Chicken Chili might just do the trick.
White Chicken Chili
(adopted from the Neely's, the Food Network power couple)
Makes enough for 4-6 people easily
Ingredients
- 2 (14.5-ounce) cans white beans
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1-2 medium poblano peppers, chopped (depending on desired spice level)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (1 box)
- 2 limes, juiced, plus lime wedges, for serving
- 1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed and meat chunked
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- Sour cream, for topping
Directions
- Drain and rinse the canned white beans. In a medium bowl, mash half of the beans with a potato masher (or meat pounder in my case; ) until chunky. Reserve the beans until needed.
- Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, onions, and garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Season the vegetables with salt, and pepper, to taste.
- Add the cumin, coriander, and chili powder and continue to saute for 1 more minute to toast the spices.
- Stir in the chicken stock and lime juice and bring to a simmer.
- Add the beans and continue to simmer for 20 more minutes.
- After 20 minutes of simmering, taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary.
- Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and cilantro and simmer until heated through, about 5 more minutes.
- Serve the chili in individual bowls topped with a dollop of sour cream (take their advice), crushed tortilla chips, and lime wedges.
