white chili
*2 T. olive oil
*1 onion, chopped
*4 garlic cloves, minced
*2 lbs of ground chicken
*1 t. salt
*2 T. ground cumin
*1 T. dried oregano
*2 t. chili powder
*3-4 T. flour (depending on how thick you like your chili)
*2 (15 oz) cans of cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
*1 bag of baby spinach
*1 1/2 c. frozen corn, thawed (or 1 can of canned corn)
*4 c. low sodium chicken stock
*1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes

-heat oil over medium-medium/high heat in a large saucepan. add onions and cook until translucent, or about five minutes. add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

-add ground chicken, salt, cumin, oregano, chili powder and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is cooked through.

-stir in flour to chicken mixture. add beans, spinach, corn and chicken stock. bring mixture to a simmer, scraping browned bits off the bottom of the pan.

-simmer 55-60 minutes until the liquid has reduced by approximately half and chili is desired thickness (you may have to stir in a bit more flour, again, depending on how thick you want it). add red pepper flakes and simmer for ten minutes.

-season with salt and pepper to taste.

we like to serve ours with light sour cream and shredded cheese. perfect dinner. and nutritious, too. which makes it even MORE perfect.

enjoy!
