BOB TALBERT'S WHITE CHILI



Bob Talbert's White Chili image

Bob Talbert was a columnist for the Detroit Free Press for 31 years. He created this recipe and included it in one of his columns. It was so good that a friend asked his permission to add it to his restaurant's menu. I've seen a couple of recipes here that look like his but don't include the same seasoning amounts that I got from his recipe. The 2 teaspoons of ground cumin and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne are supposed to be "heaping". It is possible that the version of his recipe I cut out of the newspaper was a later one that he'd improved upon. Personal note: I never bake or microwave the chicken breasts. Poaching them in simmering water works much better. I also use "Better Than Bouillon" for the chicken broth (never buy chicken base that lists salt as the first ingredient). I wanted to post the recipe exactly as Bob Talbert wrote it so I included his baking instruction. You can really speed up the process by cutting the raw chicken into bite-sized cubes and adding along with the chicken broth.

BOB'S LITTLE KNOWN, LESS CARED ABOUT CHILI



Bob's Little Known, Less Cared About Chili image

Savory, smoky, easy-to-make chili. Sometimes I add a can of corn, too. Maybe have some sweet corn bread muffins with honey on the side. You could use black beans, pinto beans, pink beans, or small red beans in place of the kidney beans.
