Today, my husband came home early from work because he was down in the back, again. π He had a long drive home, and then I heated up a water bottle and sent him off to bed. Poor guy! I know all about horrible back pain. It ain’t no fun!
Meanwhile, I got busy on a cozy fall meal. A quick white chicken chili for when he woke up. π
I had previously shopped at ALDI and this was a last minute dinner idea, but I had everything I needed already on hand. (ALDI is our favorite store!ππΌ)
Here’s what you’ll need:
2 large chicken breasts or tenderloins-cubed
8 small sweet peppers-cubed (variety of color)
3 stalks of green onions-chopped (I like to use scissors)
Seasonings to your taste: garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, basil & thyme
1 T chicken base (optional)
2 cans of great northern beans (Any white bean will do.)
1 can of chicken broth
2 C water
1 small bunch of cilantro
1 pint heavy whipping cream
*And if you want it a little spicy add some chili flakes or green chilis. πΆ
Directions:
Cook the chicken in a skillet with olive oil and butter. Slightly undercook it so that when you continue cooking it with all the vegetables, it doesn’t get tough.
Remove from skillet and sautΓ© peppers and onions adding a little more oil and butter.
Add the chicken back in and then the remainder of the ingredients except the heavy whipping cream. You’re going to bring everything to a boil, and you don’t want the cream to curdle. Once boiled and the chicken is completely done, add in the cream and bring it to a slow simmer. Now you’re ready to serve!
It is so yummy!
I must admit I went back for a couple bowls. π It was a perfect meal for this cozy, fall day. And hopefully it will help the hubby feel better too!
I also made my favorite cornbread recipe to go along with this yummy chili.
