Ingredients:
3 – 3.5 lbs. chicken breasts
30 oz. chicken broth or stock, your preference
Five cans (~15.8 oz. per can) Great Northern Beans
1.5 lb. (block or pre-shredded) Pepper Jack cheese
1 pint half & half
1 pint heavy cream
2 cups:
• Fresh chopped onion
• Fresh chopped green bell pepper
• Fresh chopped red bell pepper
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
1 stick salted butter
6 tablespoons Flour (for rue)
Optional: For a spicier chili, one small finely chopped Habanero pepper.
Directions:
Cut breasts in half, and boil for 15 minutes in salted water. Allow to cool, then shred.
If using block cheese, first grate it, then melt it a handful at a time in a double boiler, stirring often. Hint! The cheese will melt easier if you slowly add the pint of half and half while melting/stirring.
Lightly sauté onion & bell peppers in olive oil, add salt and pepper to taste. Sautee until slightly translucent and still a bit crisp.
In an 8 qt. stock pot, make a rue with the butter and flour.
Add all ingredients to the pot, and slightly reduce over low heat, stirring often.
Enjoy the best white chili you’ve ever made!
