Hearty White Chili - Lana Duly (Parent C.N.A.)
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 T. olive oil
- 1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chiles
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 3/4 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 can (16 oz.) cannellini beans, drained
- 2 cans (16 oz.) chicken broth
- 1/2 c. shredded monterey jack cheese
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces.
Sauté the chicken and onion in olive oil in a large saucepan until the chicken is white and the onion is tender.
Stir in the chiles, garlic, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper.
Sauté for 2 minutes.
Add the beans and broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Ladle into chili bowls and sprinkle cheese on top.
(Note: I use chicken thighs instead of breasts.)
