White Bean Chicken Chili - Crock Pot Easy
Ingredients
- 1 Pre-cooked, pre-seasoned Rotisserie Chicken, de-boned and meat diced to bite size bits, about 1-1/2 pounds, 3-4 Cups
- 4 TBS Butter (or 2 TBS Olive Oil)
- 1 Medium Onion
- 4 Large Garlic Cloves, skinned, smashed and minced
- 2 Medium Jalapeno Peppers, Seeds and white membrane removed, minced fine
- 2 TBS Italian Herbs (I used an Herbes de Provence Mix, can use Basil, Rosemary, Dill or your favorite)
- 2 tsp Ground Cumin
- 2 Cans (15 Ounces) White Kidney Beans (Cannellini Beans), rinsed and drained
- 1 EXTRA Can White Kidney Beans (Cannellini Beans), rinsed and drained
- 3 Cups Chicken Stock (store bought or make your own with the bones of the Rotisserie Chicken)
- PLUS 1/2 Cup Additional Chicken Stock
- FOR THE THICKENING ROUX... 4 TBS Butter
- FOR THE THICKENING ROUX... 4 TBS Flour
- FOR GARNISH 1 Cup Shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese
- FOR GARNISH 1 Cup Sour Cream
- FOR GARNISH Diced Green Onions
- FOR GARNISH Diced Cooked Bacon Bits
- FOR GARNISH Cheese-Its (or Fritos, but Cheese-its would be better)
- In a large Saute Pan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add Onion and saute for about 5 minutes, until Onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Add Garlic and Jalapeno and saute an additional 1 minute.
- Meanwhile, in a large 5 quart Crock Pot, Combine 3 Cups Chicken Stock, 2 cans (drained and rinsed) Cannelloni Beans, Herbs and Cumin. Set on High (4 Hour) setting... Longer slower lower setting if you have the time.
- Put 1/2 additional Cup Chicken Stock plus 1 additional can drained and rinsed Cannelloni Beans into a food processor and pulse until it forms a thick paste.
- Transfer Bean paste plus Sauteed vegetables to the Crock Pot, stir to combine and close the lid for 4-8 hours.
- If you like a thick gravy (I do), Add a ROUX... a half hour before ready to serve, in a small saute pan, melt 4 TBS Butter over low to medium heat. Add 4 TBS Flour (One TBS at a time) and slowly whisk for about 5 minutes until the buttery mixture begins to smell nutty. Be careful to do this over low heat. If the flour burns you need to start over. When the smell hits and the Roux becomes darker, add to the crock pot and stir to mix. Gravy will thicken up.
- Serve HOT from the Crock pot. Garnish (or offer bowls of condiments so guests can personalize their Chili and ENJOY
