Sister Debbie Harker's Recipes/Message.
Good morning!
Hats off to the women of the Pasco Stake!
You gals are awesome .....ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!
I have received received several requests for recipes ..... even text messages late last nite asking for them ..... So STRAIGHTWAY ~ here they are!
Just so you know ~ I'm terrible. terrible! I don't follow recipes so well. Here is the recipes as it was given to me:
White Chicken Chili
3 (14.5-ounce) cans white beans- drained
1 tablespoon butter or canola oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 can diced green chilies- small
1/2 cup finely shredded carrots
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Dash basil
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
4 cups low-sodium Swanson chicken broth
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
In large skillet, brown diced boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Once browned, add a little butter or oil and add in to sauté: onion, garlic, green chilies, and shredded or finely chopped carrot.
Add Swanson chicken broth, dash of basil, cumin and chili powder; salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then simmer 15-20 min. Add in drained and rinsed canned white beans.
Serve topped w/ cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, sour cream and a few tortilla chips.
NOW.... HERE IS WHAT I DO:
Last night I used pre-cooked diced chicken breasts. I sautéed onions and garlic with Pam, not oil/butter.
My husband isn't big on garlic, so I just use a little bit of the minced garlic in the jar.
Cumin is not my favorite spice so I barely used a teaspoon for the whole big roaster oven last night.
When I make it at home, a few dashes will do.
Chili powder.... Never measured...just add to taste.
I rarely buy canned chicken broth. I like the chicken paste stuff in the jar from Costco, the flavor is much richer and I just make my own broth. Make just enough to barely cover your meat/beans.
When I first made the chili I felt it needed something! (Which is kinda what I do with most recipes!) Hmmm...... What to add? Cream cheese will work! So I add an 8 oz. brick of cream cheese to this chili? I've used the low fat kind .... Works nicely. Just remember it takes a while to melt down, so add it STRAIGHTWAY!
For garnish I use shredded Monterey Jack cheese.... Not cheddar and a cilantro sprig!
