The weatherman is calling for a rainy, nasty few days. I am thinking something warm and comforting would be the best thing I could fix for supper. I have a pit barbecued chicken in the freezer that will make a wonderful base for my white chili. Drop the chicken in a pan of water and bring to a boil. When the chicken has thawed and softened, pick the meat off the bones and shred it. Reserve the water, it has a fabulous smoky flavor.
I was thinking about this last night, so my great northern beans have soaked, but if this is a last minute idea, use canned beans or follow the quick soak directions on the bag. Into the crock pot go the beans, the chicken, the water you thawed the chicken in, a minced garlic clove, some onion powder, a can of chopped green chilis, a teaspoon of chili powder, 2 carrots, peeled and shredded and 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed. Turn the crock pot on low. When you get home from work you will have a yummy bowl of White Bean Chicken Chili waiting for you. We like a little cheese and a dollop of sour cream on ours. Enjoy!
