Chili is basically the perfect cold-weather dinner, so why not have a few different varieties in your arsenal? This white chicken chili is quick, hearty, and a nice change of pace from beef.
4 chicken breast halves, cubed
2 cans (15 ounce size) white or light red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounce size) chicken broth
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (4 ounce size) jalapeno peppers, chopped
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
Combine the chicken, beans, broth, garlic, onion, and peppers in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is partially cooked.
Stir in the oregano, black pepper, cumin, cloves, and bell pepper.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. If desired, you can shred the chicken.
Serve hot. Garnish with sour cream and shredded cheese, if desired.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Timothy's was one of the first resturants in Louisville to serve "white Chili". My family always loved it, I have made it several times but add Rotel tomatoes or tomatoes with green chilis to add a little more spice.

This is a good a pot meal, firehouse meal and cold rainy day meal. I also do not add red pepper, I substitute green chilles for jalapenos. I recommend adding the cloves later because they turn everything brown if you cook it too long. I like the recipe but have cooked it so many times a tailored it to my families taste. I usually use an electric skillet, fast and easy during school sports seasons. nice change from red chili.My kids laugh when it was put in the meal rotation last year. When the first cold day of fall rolled around they were asking for it. Good to dip corn chip scoops in. My wife likes it because I preprare it so when everyone is home from school and work, dinner is ready. A family favorite.

Yum Yum Yum!!I left out the pepper cuz my hubby doesn't care for them but followed the rest of the recipe. OMG! Very good! Even he like it - a lot. I'm not a great cook - I hold my own but THIS recipe will be among my good accomplishments! (easy on the jalepenos if you don't like 'hot'. We do, so KUDOS!
The meal was terrible!!! Everything was going good until the last ingredient... 1/2 cup of red pepper!!!! This not only changed the color of the chili from white to red but was so over powering I could barely eat it. I recommend that if you are going to be making this chili, use about 1 tbsp of red pepper before you add more to it. Good luck!
Unfortunately, "red pepper" is too vague to know what the submitter of the recipe means. It could be 1/2 cup red BELL pepper? If it was the spice, it should be either crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne (not just red pepper). So I'm wondering if they didn't mean bell pepper.

This recipe was GREAT!!! I am a mom of 5 kids and it was a BIG HIT!! It was very simple to make. I have twin 5 y/o boys and a 4 y/o boy, which if any of you have little ones that age, you know they can be "picky" eaters. There was not a PEEP coming from the dinner table from them...Only thing I heard was "goodie, goodie, goodie..." Loved it!!! P.S.- I did use Great Northern Beans instead though (by accident) and it still was great. Also didnt use any jalepeno peppers, just cuz we're not a big fan of spicy foods...
