White Bean Chicken Chili image

This is a warm and hearty chicken chili that is made in a slow-cooker. Sara Lee Chef Catherine DeOrio shared this recipe on the Today show and it looked perfect to have on a cold wintry night. She served this chili in a sour dough bread bowl.

Time 8h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts, split
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs
3 (15 ounce) cans white kidney beans
10 ounces smoked turkey sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (4 ounce) can roasted green chilies, peeled and diced
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in skillet over medium-heat. Add onions, garlic, coriander, cumin and oregano. Sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add red peppers and sauté for 2 more minutes. Empty contents of skillet into slow cooker.
  • Heat one tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skillet (working in batches if necessary) and cook until it is no longer pink on the outside, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.
  • Add wine, chicken stock, green chilies, beans and white pepper to slow cooker and turn on to low. Cook for 6-7 hours.
  • Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred with a fork. Return to slow cooker.
  • Add cream, salt, and turkey sausage, turn cooking setting to high and remove lid or leave lid slightly ajar to let moisture escape. Cook until sauce is thickened, about 30-45 minutes.
  • If a thicker chili is desired: Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water or stock for each cup of liquid. Add to slow cooker and mix. Allow sauce to thicken before serving.
  • Serve in bread bowl and top with favorite garnishes.
  • Tip: If you like your chili extra spicy, add diced jalapeño and sauté with onions before adding to the slow cooker.
