Chrissy's White Chili

This is a dish I make often in the winter months. It's a nice change from traditional chili and when I was making it the other day (using dumb chicken), I realized how healthy it is. Full of protein and fiber, the whole family loves it.


3 Cans Chicken Broth
5 Cans Great Northern Beans (or other variety of white bean)
2 Cans Green Chili's, diced
2 Med. Onions, chopped
4 Cloves Garlic, minced
3 or 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts (cooked and cubed)
2 tsp. Ground Cumin
2 tsp. Oregano
1 1/2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
Fresh Cilantro, chopped

Saute' onions and garlic in a little bit of chicken stock. Drain but don't rinse beans. Add all ingrdients except cilantro and simmer in a large pot for about an hour. Add a pinch of chopped cilantro dirtectly into your bowl and enjoy!

Optional Toppings:
Shredded cheese
Tortilla Strips (I use the Tri-Color by "Fresh Gourmet" for colorful crunch!)
