 That's the way you gotta cook it, can't it? Hey y'all, Valley Cooks, and tonight we're making simple rotisserie chicken white chili. All right, we're going to chop us up an onion to go in our chili. Just chop up a whole onion and it don't have to be real little or anything. Just it's going to cook in the chili. Now this chili is a quick chili. It's an easy chili. So if you want to cut them up a little thinner, you can. We'll go ahead and throw those in our pot. Get out of the stock pot. Large one. And I probably got one that's larger than a cast iron. So that's all right. Now we're going to chop up the chicken. You're going to get a rotisserie, just a standard rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. This one came from Publix and it is cold. I have had it in the refrigerator. So you're just going to take the meat off of it and chop the meat up. And make sure you take the skin off of it. Everybody likes rotisserie chicken. It's simple. You can go by the grocery store and get these ingredients. If you don't have them at home, get your rotisserie chicken and have you a quick supper. Make sure you grab some Fritos. Make sure you get the gristle off of it and don't put it in your chili. Okay, now we're going to add a little bit of chicken bouillon. If you've got a cube, you can use a cube. If you've got granules, you can use a granule. But we're going to need about four cups of chicken broth. If you've got the real thing, use it too. I just don't have any right now. Then we're going to put in about four cups of water. So there's our chicken broth, bouillon and water. This is a simple, easy recipe. All right. We're going to put in a can of rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies. Yes, this is a white chili, but I've got to put something good in it, right? I'm going to put in two cans of navy beans. And I put juice and all in. Now we're going to put in a little cumin and some oregano. So I would say that oregano is probably about a teaspoon. And the cumin is about a close to a half teaspoon of cumin. And now I'm going to add a tablespoon. Because you're using cumin instead of chili powder. And you can always taste it and add more if you want to. Now you can also put in garlic, but I don't have any garlic at the moment. We're out of fresh garlic. And I do have some roasted garlic powder, so I guess I could put some of that in. So if you have garlic powder and you don't have fresh garlic, you can use a little garlic powder. Just sprinkle some in there. It'll be good. All right, that's the base to our chili. We're going to turn it on. And then we're going to chop up our chicken and put in here. Now you're going to want it to thicken, so you need to leave it uncovered and you need to cook it on a high heat until it starts to thicken and some of this water boils out of it. So let's get our chicken in there. So you're going to cube your chicken. This is a great recipe. Like I said, if you're in a hurry, it's easy. It's tasty. It also has cheese in it that we're going to grate into it. We'll do that. But I think I'm going to let it simmer for a good 20 minutes, and then we're going to add our cheese. And we're going to use some grated cheese. And I'm going to use pepper jack. And you can use a white American if you don't want something to be hot. If you don't want a hot chili, then use white American cheese and use and leave out the Rotel and just use a small can of diced tomatoes. All right, we're going to put our chicken into our pot. And I guess I can just take it over there since I got this nice scraper that has sides on it. I think I'll go ahead and grate just a little bit of cheese in there now and then we'll grate some more in a few minutes. You're going to use about eight ounces of cheese in this chili. And this block is eight ounces. So I'm going to grate half of it in there now. And then once I think it's lost some of its liquid, we'll go ahead and grate the other half in there. Get all down in there and we're going to stir it up good. And if you don't have to put it all in the chili, if you want to put this part in the chili and then grate some over the bowl when you pour up a cup, you can do that too. But it's pretty. Look how pretty it is. So we're going to let it sit here and thicken. I'm going to go ahead and taste it and see if I've got enough cumin in it and see if I need to add a little bit. I want to put some salt in it probably too. That's really good. I mean, I like it. I don't want it to be real strong of cumin. To me, it's just perfect. So I'm going to add just a little bit of salt because almost everything in it we're putting in it is salty. Matter of fact, I don't think I'm going to add any salt because the beans are already salted. The cheese is salty. The chicken's already salty because it's rotisserie. And there's really no need. And we put a little bit of broth in there. There's really no need to add any salt because once I cook about a cup of this water out of this and it evaporates, it's going to be more condensed and more salty. So remember that when you taste a soup or chili or anything like that and you're going to boil some of the water out of it, that the more it boils down, the saltier it's going to get. And that way if you ever salt over salt something, you can always add water in it. Helps a lot for the taste. But we're also going to add more cheese, which is salty. So we're going to leave it just like it is. And we're going to simmer this and bring it to a boil for at least 20 minutes. I came in here to check on it. And it will stick in a little bit. So if you'll take something like this and make sure that you check on it because that cheese is in there and just scrape it off the bottom. Now, if you've got a nonstick, you can just do it with a spoon. But if you're like me and you've got stainless steel, now it's all smooth on the bottom. Every once in a while over a few minutes, just come in here and make sure that cheese is not sticking to the bottom. And because you won't get to cook for a little while, so I'm still going to simmer it for another 10 minutes or so. It's been in here a good 10 minutes on a high temperature. All right, y'all can see that it's boiling and it's boiled down to about, it's pretty close to the bean. So I'm going to turn it completely off. And then I'm going to grate the rest of my cheese on top of it. Put a lid on it until I'm ready to serve it. And of course you can buy cheese that's already grated. You don't have to grate your cheese like I'm doing, but they just happen to have this cheese by one get one free. And so I bought it this way since it was a good price. And I've even got some of the block left that I can use on the top of the bowl of chili when we pour one up. So it's going to be really good. All right, we're going to go ahead and pour up a bowl of chili. Our Fritos. The dogs are on standby. They want some chili. Okay, I'm going to sit it right here and put a little cheese on the top. You can always add a little sour cream to it if you want to. I know a lot of people like sour cream with their chili. I didn't get down in there and melt a little bit. We've got us some Fritos. And if you wanted to use the same recipe for bean dip, you could and just leave out most of that water. Now remember the longer this sits, if you turn it off and leave it on the stove top and don't eat it right away, it's going to thicken as it cools. So remember that as well. Make sure you don't let the cheese burn in the bottom. And you're going to have a delicious, simple, easy supper. Very good. You can taste the beans, the cumin, the onion, the tomato. It's a good balance. And we did a good job, y'all. Thanks for watching Colored Valley Cooks, where we cook like mama did. I'm ready to crunch on some Fritos. Y'all like my new apron?

And you can see over on our board, we've added a lot of names to the board to pray for. And I appreciate y'all doing that. There's so many people that battle breast cancer. And this is the Awareness Month. So I do want you guys, if you can, try your best to get into your mammograms. So this is a pretty little apron. I got off Etsy, E-T-S-Y, and it's handmade.
