WHITE CHICKEN CHILI RECIPE PIONEER WOMAN RECIPES

Steps:

• Saute the onions and garlic in a dutch oven medium-high heat  for around 2 minutes. Add the rinsed beans and chopped green chiles, then pour in the chicken broth. Add the sliced jalapenos and season with salt, pepper, and cumin. Cover, turn the heat to low and cook for 2 hours, until the beans are done. Add the 3 cups of cooked chicken halfway through the cooking time. Once the beans are done, mix the cornmeal with the milk and add it to the chili.  Cook for 10 more minutes, until thickened. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding cayenne pepper and paprika if required. Add the desired amount of Monterey Jack cheese to the pot and stir until melted. Serve in a bowl, garnished with cilantro, sour cream and extra cheese, with rolled up warm corn tortillas on the side. Pico de gallo and guacamole also make great accompaniments, if available.

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Mix the cumin, coriander, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spices over the chicken. Add the beans, green chiles, garlic and chicken broth to the slow cooker and stir it all around. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is cooked through and easy to shred, 7 to 8 hours. Remove the chicken to a medium bowl and shred with two forks. Combine the heavy cream and masa harina in a small bowl. Mix until smooth. Return the chicken to the slow cooker along with the masa mixture and corn. Cover and cook until the chili is thickened and the corn is warmed through, about 30 minutes. Ladle the chili into bowls and top with cheese and avocado. Serve with lime wedges.
