White Bean Chicken Chili


It's so cold outside, and I love chili of all varieties, so I made this the other night and not only was it EASY to make, it was DELICIOUS! The picutre didn't turn out so great, but I think that's becuase I was in SUCH a hurry to try it!

1 medium onion - diced
1 jalapeno pepper - seeds removed and diced
2 gloves of garlic - finely minced
4 cups of chicken broth
1 - 1.25 tsp of Cumin
1 Tbsp. lime juice
2 cans of white northen beans - drained and rinsed
2 cups of cooked cubed chicken
1/4 cup COLD water
2 tbsp. corn starch
olive oil for sauteeing the onion, garlic and pepper

sautee your Onion, pepper, and garlic until tender
Add chicken broth, chicken, and beans, bring to a boil and cover, then turn down and let it simmer for about 15 minutes
in a small bowl stir the corn starch with the cold water until smooth, then slowly add to the other ingredients, stir, bring back to a boil, then simmer again for another 10-15 minutes.

SOUPer good on a cold winter night!
