Directions: |
Directions:Heat the oil on Medium heat in a 4 1/2 quart Dutch oven or soup pot. Peel and coarsely chop the onion, adding it to the pot as you chop. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Add the chicken to the pot. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring occasionally. While the chicken cooks, rinse and drain both cans of beans and drain the chilies. Add the beans, chilies, cumin, white and cayenne peppers and broth to the pot. Raise the heat to high and cover the pot. Bring the chili to a boil. Meanwhile, combine the cornstarch and water in a small container that has a lid. Shake well to remove any lumps. When the chili boils, the chicken should be cooked through. Add the cornstarch mixture a little at a time, stirring constantly. Continue to boil until the chili reaches the desired thickness. Remove from the heat until ready to serve. Garnish with cheese, if desired. |
