Linda's Southern Ky White Chili

by: kentucky cook

1 lb boneless chicken breasts, about 3 med size breasts
1/2 bottle zesty italian dressing
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can white beans, partially drained
1 can mixed beans
1 can chicken broth
1 small can green chiles
1/2 tsp + Mexican or tex-mex seasoning
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
splash of hot sauce, optional

In a large saucepan on medium to high heat
place the italian dressing, the cubed chicken and onions.
Cover, keep stirred, cook 10 minutes, until chicken is done.
sprinkle with mexican seasoning.


Add the beans, broth, chilies, pepper and cumin
stir well, turn down the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.
*I let mine simmer till the cornbread is ready.

When you bowl it up you can add a spash of hot sauce
or some shredded cheese or a little cilantro, whatever suits your tastes.
this recipe is very versatile and you can substitute any way you like.

you can :
leave out the cayenne pepper and hot sauce,
use 2 cans of white beans instead of 1 can of each listed,
use cooked turkey instead of chicken...
