White Chicken Chili

Stop by the deli and pick up a roasted chicken to make this tasty chili. Easily debone the bird while it's still warm—the bird should yield at least 4 cups.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pound dry white beans
6 cups chicken broth
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 (4-ounce) cans diced green chiles
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups chopped cooked chicken
3 cups chicken broth

Cooking Directions:

1. In a large kettle combine dry white beans, chicken broth, crushed garlic cloves, and 1 chopped onion. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, until the beans are tender, about 2 to 3 hours.
2. In a large skillet, sauté 1 cup chopped onions until tender. Add diced green chile peppers, cumin, oregano, cloves, and cayenne pepper; mix thoroughly. Add cooked, chopped chicken and chicken broth. Simmer for 1 hour.
