Ingredients
6 cups cooked chicken (chunked)
4 cans white navy beans, rinsed and drained
1 can mild green chilies
3 cans chicken broth
2 tbs chicken base
1½ cups heavy cream
2 onions
2 minced cloves fresh garlic
1 cup Top the Tater®
½ stick butter
3 tbs sugar
1/3 cup flour
2 McCormick® White Chicken Chili Seasoning Packets
4 slices of Bongards® White American Cheese
4 slices of Bongards® White Hot Pepper Cheese
Instructions
I cook my chicken in chicken broth or buy it at Costco already done.
I put all the ingredients a crock pot - except the onions, garlic, sugar, and flour.
I caramelize the onions and the minced garlic in ½ stick of butter. Once they become transparent, I add the sugar and cook for about 10 more minutes.
I then add the flour to make a roux - cook for about 3 more minutes to get the flour taste out - stir constantly so it doesn't burn.
Add some of the chili mixture so it gets a slurry consistency, then add the mixture to the chili - it will thicken as it cooks. You can add more chicken broth if it gets too thick for you.
I cook this for a good 3 hours on HIGH and then remove the lid for 1 more hour to thicken it up. Timing depends on how much you make - you can always turn it down and just let it simmer.
