Monday September 19th: White Chicken Chili and Salad
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces or shredded
- 2 cups finely chopped onion
- 4 garlic cloves, diced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, undrained
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups dried Northern Beans
- 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Directions:
- Rinse the white beans and separate any and all empty shells or bad ones. Put them in a pot and covered with 1 cup water, 1 can chicken broth and 2 cloves of garlic and 1/2 cup diced onion. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 45 minutes.
- Add olive oil to a large Dutch oven and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, remaining onions, and garlic. 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.
- With a potato masher, mash the beans half the beans to a chunky consistency. Add the beans to the sauteed vegetables and continue to simmer for 20 more minutes.
- After approximately more 20 minutes of simmering, stir in the shredded chicken and cilantro and simmer until heated through. Serve the chili with a dollop of sour cream.
