There was another post on someone looking for a chili recipe and I mentioned the white chili that my wife makes and they wanted the recipe. I though others may be looking for a good way to use up their turkey so I figured I would start a thread on it.
Marissa's White Chicken Chili
16 oz (or more) canned white beans
1 stick butter (unsalted)
2 large onions chopped
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tsp Tabasco
1.5 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp Salt (or more)
1/2 tsp Pepper (or more)
(2) 4oz whole mild green chilies drained & chopped
5 boneless chicken breasts (around 2 lbs)
1.5 cup grated Monterrey jack cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups half and half
Some extra butter/oil to cook in
Directions:
1. Heat large skillet and add butter/oil to cook chicken. Coat chicken with salt & pepper (and chili powder if desired). Place in skillet and allow to brown for 5 minutes. Flip and brown 5 more minutes continue cooking until done. (When using cooked turkey you would just need to brown for a few minutes or possibly just skip this part since its already cooked.)
2. Remove chicken from the pan, set aside and shred when cooled.
3. Cook onion in skillet with 2 Tbls butter until softened.
4. In large pot, melt remaining 6 Tbls of butter over medium heat and then whisk in flour. Cook roux for 3 minutes whisking constantly. Stir in onion and gradually add half and half whisking the whole time. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Stir in Tabasco, chili powder, cumin, salt & pepper. Add beans, chilies, chicken an cheese and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. Add sour cream.
5. Serve with chili garnishes if interested, cilantro, cheese, jalapenos, etc.
