Midwestern White Chicken Chili Recipes

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend ½ of the beans (1 can) with 1 cup of the chicken broth. Set aside both the puréed beans and the remaining whole beans.
• Add the oil to a large pot or Dutch oven and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the onion, jalapeño pepper and poblano peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute more. Add the cumin, coriander and ancho chili powder and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for one minute more to toast the spices. Add the chicken broth, puréed beans and ½ teaspoon of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
• Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, reserved whole beans, corn, and lime juice; bring back to a simmer and cook until everything is heated through, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and lime juice, if necessary. Stir in the cilantro. (Note that the broth will be somewhat soupy -- that's how it is supposed to be. It thickens the longer it sits; see note below.) Ladle the chili into bowls and serve with sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, and lime wedges.
• Note: The seeds and ribs in the peppers hold all of the heat. I don't use them to keep the chili mild and family-friendly, but if you like a spicy chili, save them and stir some in at the end. (If you do touch the seeds, be sure to wash your hands well and avoid touching your eyes.)
• Note: The chili thickens as it sits. If you make it ahead of time, you will probably need to add more broth or water to thin it out.
• Note: Nutrition info does not include optional toppings.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The chili can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat it on the stovetop over medium-low heat until hot. (The chili will thicken up some when frozen, so you'll likely need to add some broth when reheating.)

ROASTED CHICKEN WHITE CHILI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drizzle the chicken with some oil, season with salt and pepper and put on a baking sheet. Roast until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then cut into large dice.
• Meanwhile, add 1/4 cup oil to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium heat. When hot, add the celery, onions and bell peppers and saute until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the flour, stir to coat the vegetables and cook until the flour starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the warm chicken stock, stirring until combined. Add the beans, chiles, garlic powder, cumin, rosemary and green tomatoes and bring to a simmer, cooking until the mixture starts to thicken, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the diced chicken and cayenne and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes to warm through. Serve garnished with sour cream.

MIDWESTERN WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts into 1/2 inch cubes. In a large stew pot, heat a little bit of olive oil in the bottom of the pot and brown the chicken. While the chicken is browning, chop the onions, peppers, and celery. Remove chicken and set aside.
• Add the rest of the olive oil and the butter, and saute the onions, peppers, and celery for about 10 minutes. Add the garlic for the last 2 minutes, and then add the broth and water (I use the broth cans to measure the water), and add the chicken back into the pot.
• Now is the time to stir in the navy beans. Randall's brand in the big glass jar seems to taste the best and be the easiest for me. I've tried dried beans before too with good results - if you have the time to soak them the night before.
• This is about the time to add all the seasonings - salt, pepper, and cumin. Hickory salt is good in this, it gives the chili a little darker color and gives it a little bit of smoke flavor. Cumin is really the secret ingredient though. The cumin gives it the chili taste without using chili powder, and makes a yellow broth instead of a dark red one. My spice measurements are guesstimates though, as I always season until it tastes just right.
• While all this is coming to a boil, peel the potatoes, and cut them into small (3/8 inch) chunks. Add the corn and potatoes into the mix. I used frozen sweet corn that I had put up from my garden this summer and the results were delicious. I don't recommend canned corn, but I never have been a big fan of canned corn for some reason. Add a little more water if needed, if the chili looks too thick to cook for a while.
• Now just sit back, turn the heat down to medium and let it all simmer for about 45 minutes while stirring occasionally.
• Turn off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Now it's ready to serve. Top with the shredded cheese and your favorite hot sauce and you're good to go. This recipe is great for game day parties, and also re-heats well for the next day, as any true chili should.
