My take on the White Chicken Chili. A picky eater at home makes me concoct recipes that will entice her to eat all that is good for her. In doing so, I can mask the chicken and all the good old earthy veggies that does a body good in this Earthy Chicken Chili!!!
2-4 Chicken Breast - Diced or Thinly Sliced (uncooked)
4-8 Cups of Chicken Broth - Bring to a boil in a stock pot & Simmer
2 Cans of Fire Roasted Chopped Chillies - Re-chop to have smaller bits
1 Cup of all purpose flour
1/2 of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Divided
1 Red Onion - Diced
1/2 lbs of Portabella Mushrooms - Sliced
1/2 lbs of Button Mushrooms(white) - Sliced
1 Cup of Great Northern Beans (Cooked)
1 Cup of White Corn (Optional)
1/2 Cup of Egg Noodles (Optional)
1/2 Cup of Heavy Cream
1 Green Bell Pepper - Diced
1 Red Bell Pepper - Diced
2 Stalks of Celery - Thinly Sliced
8-10 Cloves of Garlic - Minced or Pressed
2-4 Serrano Chillies - Grated or Minced
2 1/2 Tbsp of Cumin Powder
1 Tbsp of White Pepper Powder
2 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp of Soy Sauce
Dash of Oregano
Prep Time:45mins
Cooking Time:20-30 mins
In a bowl mix thinly sliced Chicken breast, 1 Tbsp of Cumin Powder, 1/2 Tbsp of White Pepper Powder, Minced Serrano Chillies, 1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce & a dash of salt. Set the mixture aside and prep the veggies.
Put 1/2 of the EVOO in a skillet and stir fry the chicken until fully cooked. 5-10minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and add in the onions & celery for sauté a min or two & add in the mushrooms. Sauté until almost all of the moisture has evaporated. Next add in the rest of the veggies and cook for 3-4 minutes, add in the cooked chicken, chopped green chillies and let it simmer stirring occasionally.
In a deep dutch oven add the rest of the evoo & add the flour gradually whisking to make a roux. Once the roux has turned beige in color add in the heated stock whisking to make sure no lumps form. Add in all the stock and let it come to a steady boil. Add in the Worcestershire sauce & whisk in the heavy cream & bring to a boil for about 2 minutes than add in the chicken & veggies mixture slowly...add in rest of the cumin & a dash of oregano. Simmer the chili for about 10-15 mins.
I serve mine with a spoonful of sour cream & slice of toasted sourdough! Bonn Appetite
