Spicy is a bit of an understatement for this chili…but it will warm you to the core on a chilly day! We actually like a lot of heat in our chili so we used the whole Serrano, seeds and all…if you like your chili milder substitute jalapenos and be sure to remove the seeds. This is really tasty with corn bread or white tortilla chips on the side!
Loaded White Chicken Chili
Ingredients:
2 cans great northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 Tbsp. olive oil or butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 Serrano peppers, seeded and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground chicken thighs
1⁄2 pound ground chicken breast
2 cups organic chicken broth, low sodium
16 ounces green chile salsa
4 ounces chopped green chiles
1 lime, juiced
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ancho chile powder
1 1⁄2 tsp. coriander
1⁄2 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. Celtic sea salt (or to taste)
sour cream, avocado, tomato and cilantro for serving
Drain and rinse the canned beans. In a medium bowl, mash half of the beans with a potato masher until chunky. Set aside until needed.
Add the oil (or butter) to a large Dutch oven and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, onions, and garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Crumble in the ground chicken. Add the cumin, coriander, and chili powder and continue to brown until the chicken is no longer pink. Stir in the chicken broth, green chili salsa, green chiles and lime juice and bring to a simmer. Add the beans and continue to simmer for 20 more minutes. Season with the white pepper and sea salt to taste.
After simmering, taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary.
Here is the chili still in the pot without all the good stuff on top!
