Fall Is In The Air–White Chicken Chili

September 14, 2014 by Tonja 4 Comments

Is anyone else ridiculously nostalgic this time of year?  Man, I’ve got it bad.  I was running around Lake Harriet the other day to Coldplay’s Sky Full of Stars, and I could just feel it.  It’s so subtle, and so fleeting, and so exciting.  I relish Fall. And my taste buds immediately turn to something soothing and warm.   This version of White Chicken Chili with  additional spices will have your taste buds singing.

  • 1 Tbls. canola oil
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, minced
  • 1 can green chilies
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbls. ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1 tsp. ancho chili powder
  • 1 tsp. oregano flakes
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-n-half

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the canned white beans. Set aside. Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, chiles, onions, and garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Season the vegetables with salt, and pepper to taste.
  2. Add the cumin, coriander, and chili powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper, and continue to saute for 1 more minute to toast the spices. Stir in the chicken stock, lime juice, and cream and bring to a simmer. Add the beans and chicken and continue to simmer for 20 more minutes.
  3. Finally, taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary. Stir in the cilantro and simmer until heated through, about 5 more minutes.
  4. Serve the chili in individual bowls topped with a dollop of sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, and cheese.
