White Chicken Chili


This is a dish so easy even my dad can make it (and that's saying a lot!). The thing I like most about white chicken chili is that it's so light. It's rich and filling but not as heavy as regular chili...

1 LB Chicken, diced
1 tsp oil
1 Box Chicken broth
2 Garlic cloves, minced
Chili powder
Cumin powder
Adobo Seasoning
2 16oz can Cannelloni beans, rinsed and drained
1 can Hatch Chilies, diced
1 Avocado, diced
Cilantro
Salt
Pepper, fresh ground
Tortilla strips

Heat the oil in a stock pot and heat to a medium high. Add a few tablespoons of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of the cumin and adobo seasoning and mix (you can adjust for taste later) to the chicken mix well and add to the pot - cook for 5 min or until done. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the Hatch chilies and Cannelloni beans - mix well. Add the stock and simmer for 10 minutes. Ladel into bowls, add some tortilla strips, avocado, and cilantro. Eat & Enjoy...
