This one is NOT for the crockpot but we liked it more than the last one we tried.

White Chili
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Great Northern white beans (or 4 cans of white beans)
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast (I used leftover turkey and chicken and guesstimated the amount)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 4oz. cans of mild chopped green chilies
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 6 cups fat-free chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp. ground cumin
- 2 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
- 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Sour cream
- Salsa
– Soak beans in cold water overnight.
– In large pot, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat and sauté onions until translucent. Stir in garlic, chilies, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, and cloves and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
– Drain beans and add to pot with chicken stock. Bring to boil and reduce heat. Simmer about 2 hours until beans are tender, stirring occasionally.
– While beans are cooking, saute chicken breast in 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Let cool, then cube.
– After 2 hours, add chicken and 1 cup of cheese to chili and stir until cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper.
– Serve with extra Monterey Jack, sour cream, salsa as toppings.
