Makes 1 regular-size crockpot. Measurements for spices are not included because I just threw it together. Next time I will measure.
 
WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
 
* 12-16 oz chicken, chopped or shredded (1 can pre-cooked chicken 12.5oz OR boneless chicken breast – depends on time, etc)
* 2 cans butter beans
* 2 cans great northern beans
* 2 cans chicken stock
* 1 can cannelini beans (white kidney beans)
* green onions, thinly sliced (or white and green… I used both because I ran out of green – and I just love onions) reserve some sliced green onions for garnish if you prefer.
* granulated garlic (or fresh garlic, minced) 
* white pepper
* olive oil
* green chilies, diced - optional – I didn’t have any this time so did not use them
 
 
In frying pan, cover bottom of pan with olive oil or grape seed oil, cook or heat chicken on medium heat with cumin, onions, granulated garlic. I season this pretty heavily because I’ve found adding cumin directly to the chili does not always mix well – so I just season the chicken mixture – a lot. ;)
 
Once chicken is done, add 1 can of chicken stock and simmer for 30-40 minutes to reduce by around half.
 
In crockpot, combine:
1 can chicken stock
1 can cannenlini beans
2 cans butter beans
1 can great northern beans (puree the other can)
green chilies (optional)
 
In food processor, puree remaining can of great northern beans until smooth. Add to crockpot (to add thickness without adding milk — I’m lactoce intolerant)
 
When chicken mix is done – add it to the crockpot and slow cook it on high for a few hours or on low for longer. I like to get mine up to a boil fast, then reduce it down to low.  If you don’t have time to reduce the chicken stock – you might have to boil the chili for a while with the lid cracked open to reduce it that way to make it a little thicker – or just use 1/2 can chicken stock… I just never know what to do with that 1/2 can left – so I use it.
 
Serve with white cheese (monterey jack) and cracker or fritos – tasty stuff!  Garnish fresh, thinly sliced, green onions.
