Creamy White Chili - YUM!

I tried a new recipe tonight from a blog I've recently discovered, My Kitchen Cafe. Never having tried any type of chili outside the traditional meat/tomato base I wasn't sure how it would go over. The stuff is incredible; I mean really good. Of course, it's low in both calories and fat - NOT - (real sour cream and whipping cream), but sometimes you just have to live a little. The only thing I'd change is to put in half the amount of dried oregano. This one is easy and a keeper:


Creamy White Chili
from Tori M.

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon oil
2 cans (15 1/2 ounces each) Great Northern Beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) chicken broth
2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies (if you like less kick, add just one can)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream

In a large saucepan, saute chicken, onion and garlic powder in oil until chicken is no longer pink. Add beans, broth, chilies and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately. This is especially good served with tortilla chips. Makes about 6 servings.

Thanks to both "Tori M" and to the person behind My Kitchen Cafe (couldn't find the name)

Boy, does this look good or what! I'm hoping we get some fall weather soon. For some reason we've been hotter than blazes, and it usually gets cooler here before other spots in Florida. Thank you for sharing this delcious recipe. Can't wait to try it.

Happy Fall,

Sheila... who finally got her hands on a brand new computer and is working the kinks out now! :-)
