White Heat Chicken Chili Food

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, both jalapenos, the poblano, cumin, coriander, oregano and allspice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the spices are toasted, about 7 minutes. Add the chicken, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until it starts browning, about 5 minutes.
• Add the beans, canned chiles, broth and 1 1/4 cups water; bring to a boil. Add the torn tortillas to the pot; reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 40 minutes.
• Remove the halved jalapeno from the chili and stir in all but a few tablespoons of the cilantro; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Serve with assorted toppings, the reserved cilantro, lime wedges and more tortillas.

WHITE HEAT CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in large sauté pan over medium heat.
• Add garlic, onions, and chicken. Sauté for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Set aside.
• In a large stock pot combine chicken broth, cumin, coriander, ground white pepper, lime juice, jalapeno peppers and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with lid, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. (The aroma of this soup base is very pungent -- don't let it scare you! Once it's all put together, the base blends beautifully with the other ingredients, mellows out a bit and creates a wonderful flavor.).
• Add the chicken, garlic, and onion mixture, plus the corn, beans, bell pepper, and beer.
• Cover and let simmer for approximately 30-35 minutes.
• When finished, remove from heat and stir in the sour cream and fresh cilantro.
• Garnish each bowl with the shredded pepper jack cheese and/or pico de gallo and serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
