Easy White Chili

Well, it's fall. That means chili time at our house. I have the easiest White Chili recipe ever.

One rotisserie chicken (take all the meat off and pull apart or chop some)
One onion, one bell pepper, and 5 stalks of celery (or one bag of frozen, chopped of the same)
1/2 stick of butter
One large jar or 3 large cans of white beans
One large box of Swanson's Chicken broth
2 Cans of diced green chili peppers
Cumin and Creole Seasoning to taste (I am a little generous with the cumin, love the flavor)
Green Chili sauce as desired

Saute vegetables in butter until soft. Add the remainder of the ingredients. Cook over low heat for about an hour. Stir to prevent scorching. Yummy!

This is my favorite Chicken Salad 2010.

One head of Napa Cabbage (finely shredded)
Three green onions chopped fine
A palm full of fresh basil chopped fine
A palm full of parsley chopped fine
A palm full of sliced raw almond
One Gala apple chopped in fine squares
Two chicken breasts (may be taken from a pre-baked chicken or cooked boneless, skinless)
Sliced thin

Dressing:

1/4 cup of light Olive Oil
1/3 cup of Rice Vinegar
Generous dash of Balsamic Vinegar
1Tbs. of Chicken Boullion
1 packet of Truvia sweetener
1 generous dash of Sesame Oil

This is the basic salad. You can play around with the vinegars to suite your taste. Pear infused balsamic instead of Rice Vinegar is delicious. Dried apricots or mangoes instead of the Gala apple are also great.
