White Chicken Chili
When I talk about comfort and what meals truly melt my insides like warm butter, I can't complete the sentence without mentioning this chicken chili. I'd like to say it was a dish I grew up with, or that it has some kind of warm-and-fuzzy, sentimental story behind it, but that is just not the case. The story is simply this: When my husband and I were living in Massachusetts, we used to spend quite a lot of time indoors during the cold winter season, which typically lasts a minimum of six months, and during those days and nights, I would almost always be watching reality t.v. and stirring a pot full of this unbelievably scrumptious chicken chili. That, or throwing large quantities of meat, spices and sweet, tangy sauces into a CrockPot and forgetting about it for the entire day. But, that's another recipe. So, invisible audience, without further ado... here is my pride and joy. The ultimate comfort-in-a-pot for those lazy, neverending Northeast winters: White Chicken Chili Printable Recipe 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, chopped 1 red pepper, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped 1 small green chili pepper, minced and seeded 1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes 2 15 oz. cans white beans 2 cups frozen yellow corn 1 14 oz. can chicken broth 2 tbsp. chili powder 2 tbsp. cumin 2 tbsp. salt 2 tbsp. pepper 3 cups crushed tortilla chips 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese Heat about 2 tbsp. of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
