Kens White Chili Recipes

KEN'S WHITE CHILI

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight.
• Combine beans, chicken broth, onions and garlic in large pot.
• Cook (boil, then simmer) for 1 to 2 hours until beans are done. (Do not stir too much or the beans will fall apart).
• When beans are done, add chicken, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper, lemon juice, and chilies.
• Simmer for approximately 1 hour.
• Add grated cheese last. Simmer until cheese is melted; stir or cheese will sink to the bottom and scorch.
• NOTES.
• Cooking times are approximate. Basically cook until the beans are done and spices have "soaked in" then cook until cheese melts.
• Sometimes not all of the chicken broth is necessary.
• You don't want it too soupy, so I usually add about 4 cans of chicken broth and add the last can as needed.
• This will make a large pot.
• Serve with a salad and garlic bread and enjoy!
