White Bean Chicken Chili
White Bean Chicken Chili / Soup Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups less-sodium, chicken broth
5 teaspoons of Tabasco (if you desire a less spicy version lower to 2 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless, chicken breast
2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 15 oz cans cannellini beans or other white beans, rinsed and drained
Greek or Plain Yogurt
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions for garnish
Lemon wedges from one lemon
Heat oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onions, cook for five minutes until onions are softened, stirring often. Add garlic and cook for one more minute, make sure to stir so as not to burn the garlic.
Add chicken broth, Tabasco, salt and the chicken to the dutch oven. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove chicken and place on a plate to cool.
Add the cornmeal and beans to the broth. Using a whisk mix well. Simmer for another 15 minutes with the lid off. Mash about one quarter of the beans on the side of the pan. Shred the chicken with your hands and add to the pan. Simmer for another five minutes or until the chili thickens, stirring frequently.
Top each serving with yogurt, sprinkle with green onions and serve with lime wedges. Devour!

end of story...
Chip is really "Shorty"! His distraught owners finally saw the poster that was on a pole in front of their house and called one week to the day he ran away...think I would have run, too! I am betting this will not be the last time he flies that coop, hope his luck holds out!
Owners are Willa and James, on Hermitage Drive, 995-8124.
Cassie and Andrew were in love with Chip and he would have had a great life with Lucy...hope they at least get a thank you for keeping and feeding him for a week.

year of the dog magnet!
Found this fellow running up Bolton St. Tueday on my way home. He's very friendly and sweet and I think he may be getting lucky!
Chrissie and Andrew, my new friends, are keeping him with thier racetrack running, Jack Russel, Lucy....who it the perfect un-spayed partner for this un-neuterd fellow they named Chip. Trying to find the owner but no one has posted anywhere I can find, a lost message on him, or put up posters in the neighborhood. We'll see....

Zoe's first day at work...
Hard at work! Today, Zoe reported for duty at the store. She broke out of the first barrier and barked at the second. All in all she did well and I will continue her employment. I should be an interesting night at home with the pent up puppy energy of both Belle and Zoe...let the races begin!
