My recipe is a simple one, and I use my crock pot. You can
also soak your beans overnight, use canned ( 🙁 ), or if you
don't want to do that, just add washed beans to the
crockpot, and cook on "high".
White Chili
1-1 1/2 cups of Northern Beans 1-2 pounds of boneless,
skinless chicken breast 2 cans of chicken broth 1 medium
onion, chopped 1 packet of "white chili" chicken mix ( I get
mine at Wal-Mart) 1 can of diced tomatoes Red Pepper Flakes,
to taste 2-3 cloves of roasted minced garlic Garlic powder
to taste Salt and Pepper to taste 1 package of frozen mixed
vegetables
I am sorry that I do not give "exact" measurements, but I
never have. I cook by "feel" so to speak. To start the dish,
and it is a very simple and satisfying one, take your
chicken breast, wash them well under cold water, removing
any excess fat, and then cut into bite size chunks. Cook the
chicken and 1 can of chicken broth over a medium high heat
until the chicken is no longer pink, and add your seasonings
as well. While the chicken is cooking, you can chop up your
medium onion, and add all the remaining ingredients, minus
the frozen vegetables, into a two quart crockpot. Once all
the ingredients are in the crock, including the cooked
chicken with broth, turn the crock on "high" for 5-6 hours
if you are adding dry northern beans to the mixture. If you
are using canned, or have soaked your beans overnight, then
of course, you can cook for less time or at a lower setting.
Add the frozen vegetables to the white chili an hour or two
before serving time, giving them time to heat through and
not be too mushy.
This makes a very hearty stew, but if at the end of cooking
you desire a thicker consistency, take a table spoon or two
of cornstarch and stir into a cup of COLD water. Mix
thoroughly, and add to the cooking chili. This will thicken
it up immediately. I like to have a nice green salad, and
some Parmesan Cheese Bread with this meal, and it is
especially good on cold days. Enjoy.
