White Chicken Chili
(this one is all me! made up when I just raided the cupboard and threw things together, and then tweaked a bit to make it better)
Saute 1 pkg. Ground chicken with 1 lg. Onion and half a green pepper, chopped. Add 2 cloves garlic, crushed. Add about 1 T cumin and 1 T Oregano (maybe more). Add 1 can green chilis, chopped and whatever other spicy peppers that you have around (today I used one jalapeno and two tabasco peppers, with seeds; other options I've used are about a handful of pickled jalapenos, rinsed and chopped or 2 poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and chopped or a few serrano peppers, chopped). Put in 2 cubes of Knorr chicken boullion and 3 c. water. Bring to a boil. Add 1 can Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed. Heat through. Add about ¼ c. heavy cream or half and half. Season w/ salt and pepper.
