The Kelly's White Chili

I always liked my White Chili recipe just fine, but when Darcy came over and made hers, I was hooked! So much Bacon-y goodness! So here's the official Kelly White Chili recipe. It works great for camping, especially if you pre-cook the bacon and chicken. Double the recipe is plenty for a crowd of horse- campers!

Ingredients:

1 lb Chicken (breast preferred) cubed
1/2 lb bacon - chopped - (easiest if you use scissors and cut into 1/4-1/2 inch pieces)
1 medium Onion (chopped)
1 1/2 tsp Powdered Garlic
1 Tbsp Oil
2 cans White Beans (I use a variety, butter beans, white beans, white kidney beans and garbanzo beans. Darcy says drained and rinsed. I just dump them in straight from the can.)
1 can (~15oz) Chicken Broth
2 (4oz) cans chopped Green Chilis
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup Sour Cream
1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream 

Directions:

• Fry chopped bacon pieces in pan first until just crispy. Remove from pan to paper towels to drain. Clean pan so that White Chili does not end up looking dirty.
• Heat oil in pan.  Add onion and saute 1-2 minutes.  Add garlic and chicken and saute until onions are clear and chicken is slightly done.
• Add the canned ingredients and spices to the pan. Stir and simmer for 30 minutes
• 5-10 minutes before serving, add the sour cream and whipping cream. Serve with Cornbread or French bread.
