White Chicken Chili

So it’s cold about 15 days a year here in Central Florida.  So when it does actually dip into the 50’s I love to make this recipe.  I’ve never been a fan of red chili, but white chili is so yummy.  It’s brighter and more creamy than it’s Red sister, and I make mine more mild as well.  I figure you can always add hot sauce to it after it’s done if you really want to sweat.  Feel free to use Northen Beans or Cannelli Beans, either way.  My preference in the cannelloni beans since they seem to be softer out of the can. Plus the key is to blend one of the cans of beans, this is how it gets creamy and rich.

  2. Add pulled chicken and all the spices. Next add 3 of the cans of beans, be sure to drain the water. Bring back up to a simmer for another 20 mins or so.
  3. Once the beans are really soft and the flavor is infused, add the lime juice, cilantro, cauliflower cream sauce and stir well. Blend the remaining the can of beans in a food processor with a few tbsp of olive oil - add to chili.

  5. Lastly, add the coconut cream and finish with salt and pepper to taste. I like to top my bowl with extra diced cilantro, chilled coconut cream and some chilula hot sauce.
