Rainy Days

Today I woke up to sound of rain pitter patting on my window.  It made me think that even earth needs a good cry once in awhile to make itself feel refreshed and renewed.  I will be working on my blog today (thank you Deb) so hopefully it will be more interesting to look at.  

I have an amazing rainy day chili recipe to share with all of you.  It is super easy and so very yummy! 

 Blonde Chicken Chili

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3 pounds skinless, boneless

chicken breast meat - cubed

1 cup chopped onion

2 cups chicken broth

2 (4 ounce) cans chopped

green chile peppers

5 (14.5 ounce) cans great

Northern beans, undrained

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon dried oregano

2 teaspoons chopped fresh

cilantro

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1.         In a large skillet over medium-high heat, place the vegetable oil and chicken. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until all pieces are evenly brown. Stir in the onions. Cook until translucent. Drain mixture and set aside.

2.         In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring the chicken broth and green chile peppers to a boil. Stir in 3 cans great northern beans, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, cilantro and crushed red pepper. Stir in the chicken and onion mixture, and reduce heat.
