WHITE CHICKEN CHILI WITH AGED CHEDDAR

Steps:

• In a large pan, combine oil, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno chile. Stir often over high heat until onion is limp, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cumin, corn, green chiles, milk, and beans.

• Additional Ideas: For the shredded chicken, use leftover roast chicken, or rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. Or season two chicken breast halves with salt and microwave, covered, until juices are clear when chicken is pierced with a fork. Do not overcook. Accompany chili with warm, buttered corn tortillas and a crisp green salad. Provide additional toppings such as chopped cilantro and sliced green onion, if desired.
