White Chili

8 servings 6 pt

1 lb chicken cut into 1/2 x 3" strips
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 med onion diced
2 garlic cloves minced
2-15 oz cans white beans drained/rinsed
1 cup corn drained/rinsed
4 oz can green chiles
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3 cups water (plus more if needed)
2 Tbsp chopped Fresh cilantro

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil over high heat, add chicken and cook until brown, about 2-3 minutes. Lower heat to medium high and add onion and garlic. Cook until translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Add beans, corn, chiles, spices and water. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and simmer about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Add more water as needed, about 1/2 cup at a time if the chili is too thick. Serve, top with sprinkling of cilantro.
