Ingredients:

• 3 chicken breasts
• 1 32 oz. box of chicken broth
• 1 chopped onion
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground corriander
• 6 tablespoons cilantro
• 1 lime
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 (15.5 oz.) cans of cooked white beans (I used Cannellin, Great Northern, and even a cup of Pinto beans, which aren’t really white.)  

Pour the chicken broth into your Dutch oven or large pot.  Add chicken breasts, onion and garlic and bring to slow boil.

Cook chicken until no longer pink.  Then remove chicken breasts and cut them into bite sized pieces.  Return chicken to the pot.

Mash 1 cup of beans to a smooth consistency and add them to the chili.

Add the remaining beans and all spices.  If you like your chili thinner, add water.

Stir well and simmer at least 10-15 minutes.

Serve white chicken chili with fresh slices of lime and tortilla chips.
