Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
3 celery stalks, cut into medium dice (about 1 cup)
1 medium onion, cut into medium dice (about 2 cups)
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into medium dice (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups (1 quart) chicken stock, warmed
Two 15-ounce cans Great Northern beans
Two 4-ounce cans chopped green chiles
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
2 green tomatoes, cut into large dice (about 2 cups)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne, depending on how much spice you like
Sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Drizzle the chicken with some oil, season with salt and pepper and put on a baking sheet. Roast until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then cut into large dice.
Meanwhile, add 1/4 cup oil to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium heat. When hot, add the celery, onions and bell peppers and saute until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the flour, stir to coat the vegetables and cook until the flour starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the warm chicken stock, stirring until combined. Add the beans, chiles, garlic powder, cumin, rosemary and green tomatoes and bring to a simmer, cooking until the mixture starts to thicken, 15 to 20 minutes.
Add the diced chicken and cayenne and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes to warm through. Serve garnished with sour cream.
