White Chicken Chilli

Easy, delicious and tastes great with "everything" french bread



Saute:

1 lb Chicken in 1/2" cubes

1 Medium Onion

1 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

1 Tbsp Vegi Oil

Crockpot for 4 hours:

2 can White Northern Beans

1 can Chicken Broth

2 -4oz cans chopped green chillies

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Ground Cumin

1 tsp Dried Oregano

1/2 tsp Pepper

dash cayenne pepper

Final add in:

1 cup Sour Cream

1/2 cup Whipping Cream

After you saute the chicken ingredients add them to the crockpot with the rest of the ingredients besides the creams and cook for 4 hours.  Then near the end add in the creams.  So yummy!

I cook my beans from scratch in the crockpot before hand.  So easy to throw in the crockpot with lots of water and let cook for hours.  Either early in the morning or the night before on low.  They will be cooked by morning.  If you let the beans cook too long you will have mashed beans.
