WHITE LIGHTNING CHICKEN CHILI 
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2 cans great northern beans, rinsed
1 whole white onion, diced
1 cup frozen white corn
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 bulb fresh garlic, minced
6 habanero peppers
1/2 cup white wine
1 (15 oz.) can chicken broth
2 tsp. cumin powder
1 tsp. coriander powder
1 tbsp. ground white pepper
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 lime, squeezed for juice
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Heat olive oil in large sauté pan to medium-high heat, and add garlic, onions, and chicken. Sauté for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

In a large Dutch oven add chicken broth, cumin, coriander, ground white pepper, lime juice, habanero peppers (if mild chili is preferred, use fewer hot peppers, as desired - the quantity given is very hot!), and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover with lid, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add the chicken, garlic, and onion mixture, plus the corn, beans, yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, and white wine.

Cover and let simmer for approximately 30-35 minutes.

When finished, remove from heat and stir in the sour cream. Garnish with the shredded pepper jack cheese, and serve with crusty garlic bread

I used this recipe for my Church's Annual Fall Festival Chili Cook off. I entered it into the "Hot" class not thinking it was going to be as hot as a fellow Church member who used a "Ghost Pepper" in his chili. Needless to say this recipe won 1st Place in the Hot Class. I got worried because (we couldn't let people know who's chili was who's) but Lot of people would say "I heard the White chili is the hottest one here!!" Which turned some people from even trying it. I think next year I'll do a Mild version and the Hot version and enter them both. Thanks Angie for a great recipe!!

Angie, thank you! This recipe is DELISH! We have made it in our family countless times! Ive adapted your version because we're not a "hot" family! I dont even add the peppers,get left out completely! I leave the mushrooms out as well since my daughter doesnt like them! Ive used mozerella cheese instead of pepper jack (or anything my family can get their hands on - we LOVE cheese). Ive made it for church events too and its always a big hit! Whenever I make it I always have to double it and put some in the freezer or fridge for later! Doesnt even last very long in my house!

I absolutely ADORE this recipe! I switch it up each time and it is definitely fool proof. To Waino, who suggested the cilantro and can of coconut milk, thank you! The coconut milk makes it really rich and yummy.

Excellent recipe. I used rotisserie chicken, 2 habanero and 2 Serrano chili peppers. I also added 1 cup of quinoa pre-cooked in 2 cups of additional chicken broth, a 28 oz can of green chili sauce, and 2 cans of chopped green chilies, 1 bunch of fresh chopped cilantro and didn't need to add any sour cream. I sautéd the garlic and onions in the olive oil along with the cumin, coriander and pepper. I put it all in a crock pot for about two hours. This is now one of my favorite recipes.

If I could give this chili more than five stars, I would. We dropped the wine and added extra veggies. Have also used cannellini beans as substitute. Always delicious. A tip for the health conscious. Use olive oil flavored spray in place of olive oil in recipe to cut quite a bit of fat. Love this!

We love this recipe - it is one of our favorites. We only use 2 peppers , I can't imagine how hot it would be with 6!!!

Fantastic white chili. Did everything the same but I added my own base of masa flour and chicken stock to give a tortilla flavor in the background. It worked!! I might also point out that I found a new way bring out the heat in the peppers. After I made it, I didn't think it was that hot with 3 peppers, so I cut up 3 more but seared them in a pan with butter and white wine. When I did the fumes immediately came out in the kitchen and I was coughing a sneezing like crazy, my dog ran under the bed, and I told my wife not to come home right away from the store until I aired out the kitchen. BUT....Very good chili, I will make again.

So I had this when I was in high school and could never find a recipe. But also my wife is vegetarian so I needed to trade out some ingredients but she loves it! Me too!!! But it's always a win when I can use a meat recipe and turn in vegetarian!
