Here’s a chili I first had years ago at a Super Bowl party. It was the creation of our good friend Kelly Stutchman.
Chicken and White Bean Chili
2 -15-ounce cans white beans, drained 1 Tbsp olive oil 2 medium onions, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon Old Bay 2 4-ounce cans chopped green chilies 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1 jalapeno, minced 4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts and diced into 1/2 inch pieces 4 cups chicken stock (more as needed)
Topping ideas: Grated Monterey Jack cheese Sliced radish Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped Lime wedges for squeezing Tortilla chips Scallions, sliced Sliced avacado or guacamole Chopped roma tomatoes
In a large thick-bottomed stock pot, sauté onions in olive oil on medium high heat, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, Old Bay and cayenne and cook a minute more. Add the green chiles and dried oregano. Add the minced jalapeño.
Add the chicken and chicken stock. Increase the heat to high, bring to a simmer, lower the heat to low, cover and maintain the simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Add the drained beans and cook for 20 minutes more. Taste for seasonings and add more salt to taste.
Serve with toppings.
