WHITE CHICKEN CHILI FOR TWO
This is one of our go-to recipes when it gets "cold" in Los Angeles (and by cold we mean like 50 or 60 degrees F). It's great to serve by itself or over rice, but we like to hollow out a large sourdough bread bowl to serve it in. It's a fun, comforting meal for the entire family.

Steps:
- For the spice mix: Combine the cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper and oregano in a small bowl. Set aside.
- For the chili: Heat a medium pot or Dutch oven over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the oil. Add the chicken breast. Sear on all sides until browned but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the bacon to the same pot and cook, stirring, until rendered and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the spice mix and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the flour until it's mixed and forms a roux, about 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth, whisking until no lumps remain. Raise the heat to high and stir in the beans, roasted chiles, sugar and the cooked chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat until the mixture simmers. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chili is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in the sour cream. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Ladle into the sourdough bowls if using. Serve garnished with scallions.
CHILI FOR 2 ( OR 4 )
I found this in the 2003 Taste of Home Annual Recipes cookbook. It was sent to them by Norma Grogg of St. Louis, Missouri. Since I like a meatier chili, an extra 1/4 pound of ground beef was added.But even if the extra beef hadn't been added, I still think it would be enough for 4. After simmering, I did a " taste test " and added some crushed red pepper flakes for more heat. If you don't add the crushed red pepper, it's very mild. If desired add some cheese to each serving.

TWO-BEAN CHILI
I got this recipe from a Taste of Home publication awhile back - I previously had a favorite chili recipe that I loved and always used, but when I saw this recipe included refried beans (which I absolutely love), I had to try this! Now I have 2 favorite chili recipes (after making a few changes of my own). This particular recipe makes a large batch and it freezes GREAT.

This chili for two goes over especially well on a cool night. We're racing fans, and I'm frequently asked to bring this dish to the races. I'm happy to do so, because I enjoy it, too. I just double or triple the recipe. -Carol Swainston, Sheridan, Michigan
