White Chili with Chicken and Green Chile Corn Muffins

White Chili with Chicken

Warm 3 tbl of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 large onion(chopped) and saute, stirring often for 7 minutes. Stir in 2 ts chili powder, 1 1/2 ts cumin, 1 ts oregano, 2 garlic cloves( minced) and saute for another minute. Stir in the 2 (15 ou) cans of navy beans( drained and rinsed), 4 cps diced chicken, 1 cp frozen corn, 1 (7 ou) can diced green chilies, 2 cps chicken broth, and 1/4 ts salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer and do so for10 minutes partially covered. 

In a small bowl, blend 2 tbl butter( soft) and 1 1/2 tbl flour. Add the mixture to the chili and stir until it thickens. You can add more broth to thin or I like to add 3 to 4 tbls of half - and - half to thicken it. Top with cheese.

This is a very easy and delicious recipe. I like to make a double batch and freeze for later.
