White Chicken Chili

So I can't ever recall cooking white beans before. A friend gave me this recipe and it looked good, then another friend made it for us around the birth of Pearce and it was yummy...so I though "I CAN TRY THAT". I cooked my beans in my pressure cooker (quick soak method on the stove since I forgot to soak them over night), then cooked the rest on the stove although I am sure I could have done it all in the pressure cooker (I am still getting used to using that thing).

Here is the Recipe:

Cha Cha’s White Chicken Chili (modified)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 onion chopped

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 (4 ounce) can chopped green Chile peppers

2 teaspoons ground cumin

3 (15 ounce) cans white beans

Continue to cook and stir themixture until tender, about 3 minutes. Mix in the chicken broth,chicken and white beans. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In the spirit of food storage rotation, I used dried onion flakes, and 1 lb of white kidney beans (cooked in the pressure cooker). OOOHHH and I also added 1/2 cup of cooked Quinoa.

This is now a Family Favorite!
