Every once in a while you come across a recipe that is going to be a new standard. This is one of those recipes in my kitchen. I was about halfway through my bowl when I turned to Josh and said: "Our grand-kids are going to call this Gramma's chili. I am going to make this forever!"
I altered the original recipe for a couple reasons: it seemed a little spicy for us, and our canned goods were packed in different quantities. Here's my adaptation:
I altered the original recipe for a couple reasons: it seemed a little spicy for us, and our canned goods were packed in different quantities. Here's my adaptation:
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 can jalapeno peppers, drained and coarsely chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
2 ½ C chicken broth
2 C chopped cooked chicken breast
2 (19 oz) cans white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Slowly cook and stir the onion until tender. Mix in the garlic, jalapeno, cumin, and oregano. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until tender, about 3 minutes. Mix in the chicken broth, chicken and white beans. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using a potato masher, mash/stir the mixture to crush some of the beans and create a thicker texture. Stir in more chicken broth if desired for consistency . We enjoyed it with some grated cheese on top, and a few nacho chips on the side. (PS: these are the best nachos ever ! We are addicted!)

My brutal photo doesn't do it justice. Try it!
I've been reading some of your recipes and want to say how nice your photos are. Food photos are difficult, but you're doing a very nice job. I'm going to use your Bourbon Chicken recipe. Thanks!
