Not Quite So White Chicken Chili No Tomatoes Recipes

NOT QUITE SO WHITE CHICKEN CHILI (NO TOMATOES)

Steps:

• Brown cut up bacon pieces until crisp. Remove from pan, set aside and reserve bacon drippings.
• In another pan put 2 cups of chicken broth, bay leaf and chicken breasts and poach for 10-15 minutes. Undercook, since you will be simmering chicken again in a later step. Let chicken cool in broth. Reserve poaching liquid. When cooled either shred or cube chicken.
• Saute onion and garlic in bacon drippings until translucent. Add spices (cumin, chili powder, thyme, cayenne, salt and pepper). Cook a minute more.
• Now add reserved broth plus 2 more cups of broth, drained beans, undrained beans and undrained green chilis. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Add dried instant milk powder and mix; simmer a few minutes more.
• If you want a thicker chili add cornstarch mixed with water and cook til thickened. Serve. Top with crisped bacon pieces.
• NOTE: You do not have to poach chicken. You could use leftover chicken. Another possibility is to brown cubed chicken breast in bacon drippings and continue leaving out the poaching part and go to sauteeing onion and garlic and add 4 cups of broth as noted above.
• Other garnishes/condiments/sides: tortillas, tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, diced red/green peppers.

WHITE CHILI II

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken, and saute until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan.
• Saute the onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, jalapeno chile peppers and garlic in the same skillet. Return the chicken, along with the ginger, salt, sage, cumin and white pepper. Mix thoroughly.
• In a separate small saucepan or skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a roux. Whisk in the chicken broth and mix all together. Stir this mixture into the sauteed chicken and vegetables.
• Stir in the beans with can liquid, and simmer all over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked and heated through.

CHILI WITH BEANS, NO TOMATOES

Steps:

• 1. Chop the onion and chop or press the garlic. Preheat a large stock pot over medium heat, add the ground beef, onions and garlic. Sprinkle with seasonings and cocoa powder, and brown, stirring often, crumbling the meat as fine as you can get it.
• 2. When the beef is done, add 1 gallon of water, the chipolte bouillon cubes, and red beans.
• 3. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to where it barely bubbles. Let cook until the beans are tender, but not mush, 6-8 hours.
