White Chili

1 Tbsp Vegetable oil
1 lb chicken, cubed
1 small onion, chopped
garlic powder
1 (14oz) can chicken broth
2 (4oz) cans green chilies
1/8 tsp cayanne pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp. oregano
2 cans great northern or white beans
2 green onions
2 oz monterey jack cheese (or jalepino cheese)
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. whipping cream (optional, but great when you do it!)

Heat oil, add chicken and onions with desired amount of garlic powder. Cook 4-5 min. Stir in chicken broth, green chilies, cumin, oregano, cayanne, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5 min. Stir in drined rinsed beans. Simmer uncovered for 30 min. Add these after removed from heat:
Option A: 1/2 c. sour cream & 1 c. milk
Option B: 1 c. sour cream & 1/2 c. whipping cream
Serve with green onions and cheese on top and serve with chips.

It your family can't take a little spice then omit the cayanne pepper. I think it is great with the extra spice so I add a little more and use jalepino cheese and it is awesome that way.
