White Bean Chicken Chili

This is soooo good!  It is a great way to use those dry beans, canned corn, canned chicken, etc!  And, it tastes wonderful.  It also freezes well.


White Bean Chicken Chili
Ingredients:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound diced, cooked chicken meat (or 1 pint canned)
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (16 oz) jar Salsa Verde
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles
 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seed (opt)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (15 ounce) can white beans, drained
2 ears fresh corn, or 1 can corn
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Directions:
  1. Heat oil, and cook onion and garlic until soft.
  2. Stir in broth, salsa verde, tomatoes, chilies, and spices.  Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Add corn, chicken, and beans; simmer 5 more minutes.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve with these toppings for people to choose from: limes, cilantro, cheese, avocado, sour cream, and either corn chips or broken up tortilla chips.
Note:  If you want to use dry beans, soak overnight, drain, and in a crock-pot, put in the broth, onions, tomatoes, salsa verde, beans and spices.  Let cook during the day.  Just before ready to serve, add chicken, and corn.  Heat through.
