List of Ingredients
- 3 or 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 slice bacon, diced
- 2 large onions, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
- 2 cans peaches and cream corn
- 2 cans (113g each) diced green chilies
- 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 lb/500g cooked Great White Northern beans (about 5 cups) - any white bean will work such as pea, kidney
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 2 tsp ground corriander
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 1" cubes
- In a large dutch oven, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat.
- Brown the chicken, remove and set aside.
- To the remaining pan drippings, add the bacon and cook until golden.
- Add the onion and cook until soft.
- Stir in the jalapeno and cook another minute.
- Return the chicke to the pot and add the corn, chilies, broth, cumin, coriander and cayenne pepper. Note - there should be enough broth to cover the beans
- Cover and place in preheated oven at 325F for 2 to 3 hours or until broth is absorbed. Or, cook on top of stove.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Serve with grated cheese as well as an assortment of hot sauces.
Final Comments
1. Normally I use about 1/4 lb of bacon instead of 1 slice.
2. I usually just buy 2 of the large cans of white kidney beans - or Presidents' Choice used to have glass jars of white Northern beans.
3. I usually also serve with sour cream and tortilla chips.
4. freezes well.
5. The amount of broth is pretty flexible - just make sure there's enough to cover the beans... it might take an extra can depending on how many beans.
6. the jalapeno doesn't make it really hot...
