Savory White Bean & Chicken Chili
- 1 pound large white beans, soaked overnight in water, drained
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium onions, chopped, divided
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 (4-ounce) cans chopped green chilies
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1½ teaspoons dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 cups chicken breast, cooked, diced
- 3 cups Monterey Jack cheese, grated
Combine beans, broth, garlic and half the onions in a large soup pot and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until beans are very soft, 3 hours or more. Add more chicken broth, if necessary, to maintain desired consistency. Set aside.
In a skillet, sauté remaining onions in oil over medium-high until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chilies, cumin, oregano and cayenne; mix thoroughly. Add to bean mixture. Add chicken and continue to simmer 1 hour to blend flavors. Serve topped with grated cheese.
Makes 8 to 10 servings
