Another White Bean Chicken Chili



  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken pieces, cut into 1" chunks (or you can cut it after it's cooked)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 c. carrots, sliced 1/4" thick (I use baby carrots--ready to chop, and no lengthwise slicing needed for the kids)
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 6 cans Great Northern Beans (or Navy Beans)
  • 1 can mild roasted green chiles
  • 2 t. each oregano and ground cumin
  • 4 c. chicken or veggie broth
  • Garlic salt to taste
  1. Saute onion, carrots & chicken together until chicken is done. (I cut the chicken into chunks by spearing the pieces with a fork and snipping at them with my kitchen shears.)

  2. Add Great Northern Beans, broth, chiles, cumin & garlic salt.

  3. Simmer until well-combined and serve with crackers & cheese (as in the photo above--Triscuits and smoked guyere), or salad.
This was about 15 or 20 minutes from start to finish. Perfect for lunchtime, or dinner on a busy winter day.
