White Bean Chicken Chili - Posted by Valerie B.


So I have on my Google Reader this food storage website's blog. And this was a recipe I found on it. I've attached a picture. I haven't tried it, but it looks really good!! And you can use your food storage stuff!
White Bean Chicken Chili
6 cans of white navy beans (or about 1 lb. dried white beans--soak them overnight or boil for 1 hour or until tender)
1 jar of salsa
1 can green chilies
2-4 chicken breasts
1/2 onion, diced (or you can use dried)
1 c. shredded colby or cheddar cheese
1-2 cloves garlic (or you can use powdered)
1 T. cumin (or more, I like a lot of cumin)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 T. McCormick Chicken Base (or you can use chicken bouillon)
Cayenne Pepper if you like more of a spicy soup
Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, diced avocados, fresh lime squeezed & more shredded cheese.
Put all of the above ingredients into a large pot. Simmer until beans and chicken are tender and cooked through (I just throw my chicken breasts in raw and let them cook in the water. When they are cooked I take them out and chop them up. They give the broth more of a chicken flavor). Garnish with the above ingredients. Yum!!

Okay, this recipe actually looks and sounds pretty good---especially considering it's a "food storage" recipe. Way to go Valerie :)
