*Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili*
prep time: 20 mins
cook time: 3 hrs 30 mins (mostly unattended)
Serves 6

Ingredients:
3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped jalapeño pepper, fresh or canned
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (15 ounces each) white kidney or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
2 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded reduced-fat pepper jack cheese

Directions
Step 1.

Dust chicken with oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until chicken is browned all over, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring now and then. Add onion, bell pepper and jalapeño pepper, and cook until onion is soft, 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Transfer to a 4-quart slow cooker.

Step 2.

Puree 1 can of beans with 1 cup of broth in a small food processor or with a stick blender until relatively smooth. Add to slow cooker along with remaining beans and broth. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

Step 3.

Stir before serving. Sprinkle with cheese.

Tip: For a pretty garnish, swirl in some light sour cream and sprinkle on minced fresh cilantro.
