Mandy Forester's White Chicken Chili

Our friends Dave & Stef introduced us to this yummy chili. The recipe calls for you to cook it quickly in your crockpot on the high setting, but we actually cook it low and slow all day long. Instructions for both are included.

Featured on Rachael Ray's website.

Ingredients:
~1 32oz. box chicken stock
~3 cans white beans, left undrained
~5 cups cooked chicken*
~1 16oz. jar salsa (I think a black bean and corn salsa adds a nice flavor and texture)
~1 8oz. block pepperjack cheese, grated
~2 teaspoons ground cumin
~2 cloves garlic, minced
~black pepper to taste
~1/2 cup crushed Frito chips (optional - it helps thicken the soup)
~sour cream and extra cheese, for garnish

*If cooking on high for the quick method, use cooked chicken. If cooking low and slow, you can use uncooked chicken. I use 1 and 1/2 lbs. fresh chicken tenderloins when cooking all day.

1. Place all ingredients but corn chips in crockpot and cook on high until cheese is melted. If cooking all day, cook on low for 7-8 hours.
2. When chili is ready, add corn chips and cook 10 more minutes to thicken. Serve into bowls and top with more chips, sour cream, and cheese.
