RECIPE: White Bean Chili (Crock Pot)

I used this recipe for White Bean Chili and tweaked it so I could use dried beans and cook it in the slow cooker.  Here's what I came up with:

White Bean Chili

1 lb dried Great Northern Beans, rinsed and sorted (not soaked)

4 cups chicken stock

4 cups water

1 chicken breast cooked and cubed

1 Tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 large onion, quartered

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1-4oz can roasted green chilies

1 Tablespoon ground cumin

1 Tablespoon dried cilantro

sour cream (optional)

Place all the ingredients (except the sour cream) into a slow cooker and set on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.  Check the softness of the beans after 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low.  My slow cooker is brand new and cooks REALLY fast on either setting so I have to check it often to avoid ending up with mushy beans.  

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkling of fresh or dried cilantro.

Enjoy!
