Any body have a recipe for White Bean Chicken Chili?

[duff]

I used to work at a place that would have a Friday meeting with catered food. The caterer made some awesome White Bean Chicken Chili. I decided as it got colder that would be a good meal that I can make in store in serving size containers to take to work and what not. I have tried a few recipes from online, while they have come out decent they haven't really been as good as I would like.

Anybody have a recipe that they use and really like?

Also does anybody think replacing the white beans with lentils or chickpeas would be bad?

Found on the back of Bush's Great Northern Beans, made this many times very good and easy recipe.

There was a chili article in Runner's World last fall. I haven't tried the White Chili, but the Spicy Veggie Chili is actually damn tasty.

2 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon lemon pepper easoning
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 clove garlic finely chopped
1 cup chopped onions
Bring to a boil then simmer until chicken is fork tender, remove it from the broth and shred or cut up into bite size pieces. I like to shred mine.
Put it back into the pot and add
4 4 ounce cans of chopped chilies
4 medium size chopped up jalepenos if you want some heat
2 to 3 tablespoons of lime juice
2 cans of great northern beans (not drained)
2 8 oz cans of white shoepeg corn (drained)
simmer until fully heated
I like to garnish with ground pepperjack cheese

The wife makes a Chicken Chili in the crock pot, but it's not White Bean. It's a very Southwest Tex/Mex kind of thing. It's a cream based chicken chili. I like to eat with corn tortillas on the side. I can bug her for the recipe if your interested.

Thanks for the recipes. I will have to try them.

MadBrewer thanks for the offer but that's not quite what I am going for.

It seems like there is a huge variation in the recipes for White Bean Chicken Chili. Trying them all trying to find want I want should be good though.

Just like a beer recipe... take the parts you like and drop the parts you don't and call it your own.

I always go by the recipe verbatim the first time. Then make adjustments to suit my taste after that. The recipe I put up here is after my own adjustments. I doubled the chopped chilies and added the jalepenos.

I usually do the recipes verbatim before making modifications as well.


I was pretty surprised at how broad of a range the recipes for White Bean Chili Chicken are. But I have come to the conclusion that people seem to use the term chili almost interchangeable with stew. I found recipes that had chilis or chili powder, some were just cumin, some have fennel or oregano, some had corn or tomatoes. There was just a huge variation. It's almost like chili is the food equivalent of ale for a beer recipe.
