I had never made White Chicken Chili before, but while looking through The $5. Dinner Mom
Cookbook, I saw her recipe that looked simple. I made a few changes, though. Since I wanted to use food from the freezer, and we don’t use the diced chili’s the recipe called for. And, of course, I had to make a larger amount. lol This is a very quick recipe to put together when using the broth, chicken and beans from the freezer. Here’s what I did:
White Chicken Chili
5 tablespoons butter
1 large onion
5 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth from the freezer
3 cups milk
3 cups cooked chicken from the freezer
4 cups Great Northern Beans from the freezer
Chili powder to taste
Salt & Pepper to taste

| My Freezer stash of chicken, beans and broth. |
Saute the onion in the butter until onion is transparent, but not browned. Stir in flour then quickly add the chicken broth and the milk. Stir over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes.
Stir in chicken and beans. Season to taste. I used over a tablespoon of chili powder. Start with less, you can always add more. But once it’s too spicy there is nothing you can do about it.
I served this with cornbread my daughter made, and cooked broccoli.
You can also put this in the crock pot. Make the sauce, then assemble everything in the crock pot, and cook on low.
Everyone loved this, and I will definitely be making it again. Since I normally try to keep chicken, broth and beans in the freezer, will be a quick meal for us. It’s also easy to adjust the amount for more or less people.
