Green Chile Chicken Chili

It was a cold, snowy evening... I always wanted to start something off like that :) But really it was. Our first snowfall of the season. The weather man said it would be a dusting but it ended up being just a couple of inches, nothing big. But then came the below freezing temps and everyone forgot what it was like to drive when it was cold and there was white stuff on the ground. So I stayed home and did what I do best (or should I say... what I like to do) COOKING!!! It has been a while... traveling for work, fighting some Gluten poisoning, and lots of visitors :) I almost forgot what it was like! Hope you enjoy!

1 large onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 yellow bell pepper, minced
2 small jalapeno's, seeded and minced
olive oil
S&P
1/2 can of green chiles
2 bottles of Goya Salsa Verde
1 can Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed
1 can Canellini Beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups cooked shredded chicken
1/4-1/2 cup cilantro

Over medium heat add oil, onion, garlic, peppers and salt and pepper. Saute until starting to soften. Add green chiles, Salsa Verde, and beans. Heat for about 10 minutes. Add chicken and cook until heated all the way thru. Stir in cilantro after removed from heat.

Top with Pico de Gallo, Sour Cream, Tortilla Chips, and cheese! Makes a great one pot meal. Easy to use left over chicken for (or maybe even Turkey after Thanksgiving :) Share and Enjoy!!!
