White chili (my version, loosely based on the original)

-1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
-1 can of great northern white beans, drained and rinsed
-1/4 cup olive oil
-8 oz. ground turkey (or chicken)
-3/4 cup white onion, minced
-3 cloves garlic [I always double the amount in any recipe]
-six chopped jalepenos (recipe calls for 1.5 tbsp)
-I add three or four chopped anaheim peppers, if you like spice.
-2 tbsp flour
-1 tbsp ground cumin (I add more)
-3 cups chicken broth
-1/2 cup fresh cilantro
-1/2 cup pearl barley
-1 lb cooked chicken (or turkey) shredded [I use chicken with ground turkey]
-S & P to taste

Top with: shredded cheese, chopped scallion, diced tomato...

In a pot heat the olive oil and sautee the ground meat until it looses color, add onion, garlic, peppers sautedd 4 to 5 minutes.

Add flour and cumin, stir 2 minutes. Add broth, beans and barley. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 45 minutes, covered.

Add the shredded meat and cilantro, simmer for 15 minutes. Flavor to taste w/S & P.

-This is really good when it sits for a couple days. I recently froze it for the first time, but it is still in there so I can't tell you how well it freezes.

Enjoy!
