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.

ROASTED VEGETABLE CHICKEN CHILI WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Bring the chicken broth and the cauliflower to a boil in a large covered pot. Boil until cauliflower is VERY soft. They should feel like potatoes ready to be mashed when you stick a fork in them. Once cauliflower is soft, put mixture into blender and blend until smooth (this will take a couple of batches). Return to pot. Note: anytime you put something hot into a blender, take the center out of the lid and cover it with a clean towel or you could have a real mess on your hands!
• Meanwhile, on a large baking sheet (or two) put the peppers, onions, corn and jalapenos (I used a piece of tin foil to keep the jalapenos separated from everything else). The broth that I used, though low sodium, still tasted kind of salty to me for some reason, so I didn't season my vegetables at all. However, if you feel like you veggies need a little s & p, go for it. Roast veggies for about 20 minutes or so, stirring occasionally until they soften and gain some charred spots.
• Once this happens, remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Once they're cool enough to handle, chop the peppers, jalapenos and onions into bite sized pieces. Using a chefs knife, cut the kernels off of the ears of corn. (I always stick a corn holder on one end to make it easier to hold onto).
• To the pot of creamy broth, add the shredded chicken, corn, peppers, onions, jalapenos (if using, or you could add them to individual bowls), beans and seasonings and heat through. When ready to serve, stir in the cilantro. To each bowl, add 1/4 of a small - medium avocado, diced.
