I just typed these out for my mom, so I thought I'd share. The White Chili recipe is from Betty Crocker, but I modified a little.

White Chili

Accessorizing your chili is half the fun. Serve several bowls of toppings – shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, sour cream – for sprinkling over the chili.

1 tbsp. vegetable oil

2 med. Onions, chopped (1 cup)

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 can chicken broth

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or ½ tsp ground coriander

2 tbsp. lime juice

1 tsp. ground cumin

½ tsp. dried oregano leaves

¼ tsp. red pepper/red pepper sauce

¼ tsp. salt

1 can (11 oz) white shoepeg or whole kernel corn, with juice

1 can (15 oz) great northern beans, with juice

1 can (15 oz) butter beans, with juice

2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast

Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook onions and garlic in oil, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender.

Stir in remaining ingredients except chicken. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 20 minutes. Stir in chicken; simmer until hot.

Or just throw everything into the crockpot. If you have all day, throw the chicken in uncooked. Otherwise, cook chicken first.
