AUNT JANET'S WHITE CHILI

2 T olive oil
1 lb ground chicken sausage*

1 medium onion chopped

2 tsp garlic, finely chopped

3 cups chicken broth 

2 – 15 oz cans great northern beans

1 – 4 to 5 oz can green chilis

2 medium zucchini chopped**

1/8 to 1/4 tsp cayenne

1 tsp cumin

1 1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 c shredded Monterrey Jack cheese

sour cream & cilantro for serving

Drizzle a warm pot with olive oil.
This will be the same pot you make all the chili in, so make it a big one.

Saute the ground chicken, onion, zucchini and garlic over medium heat until no longer pink.

Add all remaining ingredients except cheese and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to a simmer; cover and cook for 10 – 12 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.

Garnish with sour cream and cilantro.

*When I made this, I used Apple Smoked Chicken Sausage. I highly and fervently recommend it. The flavor was unbelievable. 

**I also just use whatever veggies I have on hand. Zucchini, red pepper, green pepper... it's all good.
