White Chicken Chili

Comfort food kicked up a notch with lots of flavor!

This is a family favorite of Sarah Rose, who says it’s a go to meal for her sister-in-law and mother too. It reminds me very much of the soup our Granny would make every time we came to visit. It would be waiting on the stove with a bowl of tortilla chips nearby for all 9 of us to happily devour after the long car ride. It is one of the best comfort foods I know.

Recipe: White Chicken Chili

From: Sarah Rose
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2″ cubes
1 med onion, chopped
1 T. oil
1 can (15.5 oz) white hominy, drained
1 can (15 oz.) white beans
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
2 cans (4 oz. each) chopped green chilies
1 t. garlic salt
1 t. dried basil
1 t. ground cumin
1/4 t. white pepper
1/8- 1/4 t. cayenne pepper (I leave this out, for the kids)
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup half & half
2 T. minced cilantro, divided
In a large saucepan, saute the chicken and onion in oil until chicken is no longer pink. Add the hominy, beans, broth, chilies, and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the sour cream, half and half and 1 T. cilantro. Garnish with remaining cilantro. Yield: 6 servings.
