THE BEST WHITE CHICKEN CHILI



The Best White Chicken Chili image

This is the first recipe I ever tried for white chili, and it is the best one I have ever found. I found it in a cookbook called So Fat, Low Fat, No Fat, but don't let that fool you. The chili may be low on fat but it has a fantastic flavor and always gets raves every time I make it. This is not the exact recipe in the book, as I have made a few minor adjustments to make it a little easier.

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed of all excess fat
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup chopped onion
2 (8 ounce) cans white shoepeg corn, drained
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies, undrained
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 -3 tablespoons lime juice
2 (14 ounce) cans great northern beans, undrained
shredded monterey jack cheese, to garnish

Steps:

  • In a 5-qt stockpot, combine water with the lemon pepper, 1 tsp ground cumin, and olive oil.
  • Bring to a boil.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans: To add depth of flavor and texture to your chili, use a mix of beans, such as cannellini, pinto, and black beans.
  • Roast the poblano peppers: Roasting the poblano peppers before adding them to the chili will enhance their flavor and smokiness.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Instead of using water, use a flavorful broth, such as chicken broth or vegetable broth, to add more depth to the chili.
  • Add some spice: If you like your chili with a bit of a kick, add some chopped jalapeños or a teaspoon of chili powder.
