Chili Day

Growing up I had never tried or really even heard of white chili. The only chili we had was regular red chili. About a year ago, I discovered white chili and I fell in love. I fall in love with a lot of foods, but they usually involve sugar, so this was rare for me. Call me weird, but the forst thing I did after that potluck was look up recipes for white chili. I saw a yummy looking one, and went for it with some changes, it was perfect! So here's what you need for white chili

Onion, chicken, northern beans, green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and sour cream. Saute chicken and onion in a large skillet

Cook until onions are almost cooked through; set aside

In a large pot, combine beans, green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and oregano

Bring to a boil, then add the chicken mixture into the pot

Stir together, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the sour cream

Combine until the chili turns white

Here's a close up, you can see all the ingredients 

Let sit about 5 minutes. Scoop into bowls and serve with shredded monterey jack cheese on top!
