This version of white chili is a classic combination of chicken, white beans, green chiles and spices. Enjoy with cornbread warm from the oven. Submitted by Violet Carey from Louisville, KY.

White Bean and Chicken Chili

3 (15-ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
6 cups chicken broth
2 medium chopped onions, divided use
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 (4-ounce) cans diced green chilies
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Place beans, chicken broth and half the onions in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, and when hot, but not smoking, add onions and sauté until tender. Stir in chicken and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked. Add green chiles, garlic, cumin, oregano and red pepper flakes and stir until well combined. Transfer mixture to bean pot and season with salt and pepper. Return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until flavors are well blended. Add more water or stock, if needed.
3. Serve warm, garnished with sour cream, cheddar cheese and salsa, if desired.

Makes 8 servings.
