Road trip...

Today's post will be short and sweet. We spent 11 hours in the car with my mom, our middle daughter and our granddaughter to spend a few days with our youngest daughter. Tomorrow our oldest daughter and her husband and our grandson will join us for about 24 hours. It will be so much fun...just missing one son-in-law who is in seminary and couldn't get away.

Lana, dear, this recipe is for you -

Today's Recipe - White Chili


1 lb chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 - 15 1/2 oz cans great northern beans, rinsed and drained
14 1/2 oz can of chicken broth
8 oz chopped green chilies
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream

In a large saucepan, saute chicken, onion and garlic powder in oil until chicken is no longer pink.  Add beans, broth, chilies and seasonings.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.  Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and cream.  Serve immediately with tortilla chips.  Makes 7 servings.

  1. This is delicious! I have tried it substituting milk for the sour cream and whipping cream while limiting cholesterol. Later I learned that some healthy fat in the diet is crucial to brain and nerve function.

  2. You could probably substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream and 1/2 and 1/2 for the whipping cream, as well. As a general rule, I don't use non-fat items for the very reason you mentioned.
