White Chili posted to alt.cooking-chat http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=vraG2.3006%24l_3.5775%40news.rdc1.bc.wave.home.com&oe=UTF-8&output=gplain 1 lb. great northern white beans 5 cans chicken broth (you can use the broth from cooking chicken) 2 onions, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed (use more or less depending on how meaty you want the chili) 2 tsp. ground cumin 1 tsp. oregano tsp. cayenne pepper Salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste 3 c. Monterey Jack cheese 1 (7 oz) can chopped green chilies Soak beans overnight. Combine beans, broth, onions and garlic in large pot. Cook (boil, then simmer) for 1-2 hours until beans are done. (Do not stir too much or the beans will fall apart). When beans are done, add chicken, spices and chilies. Simmer for approximately 1 hour and add grated cheese last. Simmer until cheese is melted; stir or cheese will sink to the bottom and scorch. NOTE: Cooking times are approximate. Basically cook until the beans are done and spices have "soaked in", then until cheese melts. Sometimes not all of the chicken broth is necessary. You don't want it too soupy, so I usually add about 4 cans of chicken broth and add the last can as needed. This will make a large pot. Serve with a salad and garlic bread and enjoy!
