Creamy White Chicken Chili

1 lb boneless skinless chicken
1 med onion
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 TBS oil
2 cans great northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 can chicken broth
2 cans(4oz) diced green chilies
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream


cut chicken into bite size pieces and saute in oil with onion garlic powder. Add beans, broth, chilies, and seasonings. bring to a boil. reduce heat ans simmer uncovered for 30 min. remove from heat. stir in sour cream and cream.

I made this last night and it was divine!!! I baked bone in skin on chicken breasts with a little olive oil and salt and pepper until cooked through. Let it cool then removed skin and pulled chicken off the bone. I also poured a little of the chicken juices into the pot for additional flavor.

then I followed the recipe then kept it warm on low in my crock pot until dinner. I served it with corn chips and shredded jack and mozzarella cheese. Super yummy and perfect for the cold weather.

Thanks Rosanne for this awesome recipe.
