White Chili by Alison Dubois Scutte
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
2 large onions chopped
5 cloves of garlic chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup lime juice & 1 tsp lime zest
Red pepper flakes
2 16-oz cans great northern beans
1 (4 oz) can of green chiles
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper depending on heat desired
3-4 cups chicken broth
Directions:
- Heat 1 Tbs. olive oil in large skillet over medium heat.
- When oil is hot, add onions and cook until translucent; put onions into crock and turn crock to high.
- Wipe out fry pan, return to stove, add remaining olive oil and cook chicken over medium heat.
- When the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, turn the heat up and add the garlic to the pan.
- Cook for only about 30 seconds and then pour in lime juice, zest and a generous pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Cook for about 1 minute or until liquid is reduced by half, scrape pan and pour all into the crockpot.
- Add the next 4 ingredients and stir well. Stir in enough chicken stock to reach about 1 ½ inches below the spoon-rest indent on the crock.
- Cook on high 3-4 hours or low 6 hours; keep in warm until ready to serve.
- Serve with shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream for an extra-yummy treat!
