YUMMY CHILI

White Chicken Chili!  It is delicious - a recipe from my sister-in-law.

2 cans white navy beans (rinsed and drained)

4 large poblano chilies or 8 anaheim chilies (roasted, peeled,cut)

1/4 cup butter

2 large onions chopped

1/3 cup flour

4 c chicken broth

3 c half and half

4c cooked and shredded chicken

1 T chili poweder

1 T hot pepper sauce

1 T gound cumin

2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 1/2 grated Monterey Jack cheese

1 c sour cream

cilantro

Melt butter in a large stock pot over med. heat.  Add onions and saute until tender, about 15 min.  Add flour and stir 5 min.  Gradually whisk in chicken broth and half and half.  Simmer gently until thickened, about 10 min.  Add reserved white beans and roasted chilies, shredded chicken and spices.  Simmer gently to blend flavors, about 20 min.  Add sour cream and most of your cheese (save some to go on top) - heat until heated through and cheese melts.  (do not boil).  Top with cilantro and cheese.

I used regular red and green peppers and sauted them with the onions and it was still good.  I did cut down on the spices, since the kids don't like hot things.  It was delicious!!
