MOM'S WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

This is a wonderful, healthy chicken chili. Don't be scared by how many green chilies are in this recipe. I don't like a lot of heat and this is what I term mild. The raw jalapenos added at the end contain the heat, so beware!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 rotisserie chicken, deboned and chopped
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 medium jalapeno chilies; stemmed, seeded and minced
3 medium poblano chilies; stemmed, seeded and cut into large pieces
3 medium anaheim chilies; stemmed, seeded and cut into large pieces
2 medium onions, cut into large chuncks
12 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
2 14.5-oz cans white (cannellini) beans, drained and rinsed
3 c chicken broth
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 c minced cilantro leaves
monterey jack cheese (to top chili)

Steps:

  • 1. Remove and discard ribs and seeds from 2 jalapeños; mince. In food processor, process half of the poblano chiles, Anaheim chiles, and onions until consistency of chunky salsa, ten to twelve 1-second pulses. Transfer mixture to another bowl. Repeat with remaining poblano chiles, Anaheim chiles, and onions; combine with first batch (do not wash food processor blade or workbowl).

  • 3. Transfer 1 cup cooked vegetable mixture to now-empty food processor bowl. Add 1 cup beans and 1 cup broth and process until smooth, about 20 seconds. Add vegetable-bean mixture, remaining 2 cups broth, and chicken to Dutch oven and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
  • 4. Stir in remaining beans and continue to simmer, uncovered, until beans are heated through and chili has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • 5. Mince remaining jalapeño, reserving and mincing ribs and seeds, and set aside. Stir lime juice, cilantro, and remaining minced jalapeño (with seeds if more heat is desired) into chili and return to simmer. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper and serve. Top with monterey jack cheese, if desired.

This chili won a local soup contest and it very popular with children. The use of rotisserie chicken adds a lot of flavor. Garnish with a dollop of extra sour cream if you like. Doubling the amount of chicken makes a very hearty chili.
