Creamy White Chili

This recipe is perfect for these crisp fall days. It is so good, in fact, that I won 1st place at my church's Chili Cook-Off with this recipe. Of course, any recipe that has cream and sour cream must be good - it's a law of nature.

Ingredients:

1 Tb. vegetable oil

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed

1 onion, chopped

14 oz. can chicken broth

2 cans (15.8 oz.) Great Northern beans, rinsed & drained

1 can (7 oz) chopped green chiles, undrained

1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. dried oregano

8 oz. container sour cream

1 cup whipping cream

2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional)

Heat oil over medium heat; add chicken and onion. Sauté 10 minutes or until chicken is done; set aside.

Add broth, beans, chiles, and seasonings. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.

Remove from heat. Add sour cream and whipping cream, stirring well. You can top it with shredded cheese, however, I did not. I figured with all the various creams, I didn't really need the cheese.

This is seriously amazing, go make some tonight!

Rosemary Chicken with White Beans

Everyone needs a crock-pot recipe and this just happens to be one of our family's favorites.

Ingredients:

2 Tbs. Oil

4 to 6 Chicken Breast halves

2 cups Carrots, sliced

1 cup Celery, sliced

2 cans Great Northern or other white beans, drained and rinsed

1 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Pepper

2 tsp. Rosemary

2/3 cup fat free Italian dressing (or low fat...or any kind, they'll all work)

In a large skillet, heat the oil and brown the chicken breast. Remove and drain.

Place the carrots, celery and beans in the bottom of the crock-pot...

...and add the chicken breasts.

(I know the recipe says 4 to 6, but I usually use 2 to 3 large ones and that feeds my family of 6)

In a medium bowl, combine the salt, pepper, rosemary and Italian dressing and pour over the carrot and celery mixture. Stir to combine.

Cover; cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours.

Shred the chicken once it is cooked. Stir to combine with other ingredients, and...

serve over rice.

Enjoy!
