It's a cold day here in the Bay Area of California and Chili seems like the perfect dinner! So, I'm starting my blog with my favorite recipe (I've won chili cookoffs with this recipe):
Christine's Chicken Chili
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1.5 pounds skinned and boned chicken breasts chopped
1/2 cup green onions (scallions) shopped
1 medium red onion chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 14 ounce can chicken broth
1 11 ounce can (or 5/6 fresh) tomatillos chopped
1 4.5 ounce can shopped green chilies, undrained
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp cumin
2 tbsp good quality chili powder
2 16 ounce can cannellini beans
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup cilantro chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Cheddar cheese and diced jalapenos for garnish (optional)
Add oil to large pot and heat until hot. Add chicken, green onions, onions and garlic and saute until chicken is no longer pink and onions are soft. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, tomatillos, green chilies, oregano, cumin, chili powder and beans and bring to a boil. Let simmer 30 minutes. Add lime juice and cilantro, then salt and peppper. Serve with shredded cheese (optional) and jalapenos and a thick crusty bread.
