When you get the chilly-bones, make chili!

It's cold, and it's time for chili! I've been making this for years. It's soooo good, simple, and very filling. Goes great with garlic bread (what doesn't?).

 

White chili (a.k.a. chicken chili):

Ingredients

* 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

* 1 large onion, chopped

* 2 cups chopped celery

* 3-4 tablespoons freshly grated carrots

* 3 cloves garlic, crushed (I instead buy minced garlic in the jar, and use 3 tablespoons. Yes, tablespoons. Trust me.)

* 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers

* 2 teaspoons ground cumin

* 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

* 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

* 1 tablespoon chili powder (hot or mild- up to you!)

* 2 (14.5 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth

* 4 cups chopped cooked chicken breast

* 4 (15 ounce) cans Great Northern beans

* shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or whatever you prefer- hot pepperjack is also good)

* sour cream (I use no-fat s.c.)

 

Directions

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Slowly cook and stir the onion and celery until tender. Mix in the carrots, garlic, green chile peppers, and all other seasonings. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until tender, about 3 minutes. Mix in the chicken broth, chicken and white beans. Simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and shredded cheese.

Thank me later. :D
