AWARD WINNING White Chicken Chili

Cook in crockpot for several hours to meld flavors....yummo!

¼ cup butter

1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

4 cups cooked chicken or turkey, cut or shredded into bite-sized pieces

3 cups chicken broth

2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro - optional ( I don't use it because I don't like it)

1 Tbsp dried basil leaves

2 Tbsp ground red chilies or chili powder

¼ tsp ground cloves

2 cans great northern beans, undrained

1 medium tomato, chopped (3/4 cups)

Tortilla chips



1. Melt butter in large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in butter, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender.



2. Stir in remaining ingredients except tomato and tortilla chips. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally or cook in crockpot on low for several hours.



3. Serve with fresh tomatoes and tortilla chips.
