Creamy White Chili

I found this on tasteofhome.com today and made it for supper... soooooo good! Hubby couldn't believe it was game on and said it tasted like it came from a restaurant. I'm going to copy the recipe here and then below tell how I altered it to make it game on.



Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 medium onion, chopped

1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon canola oil

2 cans (15-1/2 ounces each) great northern beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth

2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream



Directions

In a large saucepan, saute the chicken, onion and garlic powder in oil until chicken is no longer pink. Add the 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. Yield: 7 servings.

Ok, so I cooked the chicken in tsp. EVOO instead of canola oil (and added celery with the onion, etc.). Then, I didn't have green chilis, but I had a 14 oz can of tomatoes and chilis, so I threw that in. I used fat-free sour cream and skipped the whipping cream (I looked on the list and sour cream is game on-- but I assumed it meant the fat-free variety. Even so, it fell within the 100 calories). I also thought it looked a little too think, so I added some water and chicken bullion cubes.



Anyway, this is yummy yummy!! The chilis and tomatoes give it a nice little "kick".
