Southwest White Chili

this is a recipe from a former co-worker of mine. she made it for a chili cook-off we had at work. everyone loved it and I’m pretty sure she was a finalist! by the way, I always double this, as it only makes 4 cups.


1 Tbs olive oil
1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced or cooked and shredded
¼ cup chopped onion
1 cup chicken broth
1 4oz can chopped green chiles
1 15 oz can cannellini beans, undrained
2 green onions, sliced

Southwest Spice Blend
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp oregano leaves
½ tsp cilantro leaves
1/8 tsp ground red pepper

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium high heat. Add chicken and onions, cook 4-5 minutes.
Stir in broth, chiles and spice blend. Simmer 15 minutes
Stir in beans. Simmer 5 minutes. Top with green onions. Garnish with Jack cheese, if desired.
Or just throw everything into a crock-pot and cook.
