Italian Chili

A great recipe for using white beans (soak overnight) or canned cannellini or great northern beans.

Here's what you need:

1 can of chicken (or diced from the freezer)
1 can of chicken broth
1 can of white beans
1 can Italian style diced tomatoes (do not drain)
1 can mushrooms
1 T dried onion
Italian seasoning as needed (basil, oregano, rosemary, etc)

Combine everything in a stock pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Optional: top with shredded Italian cheeese and serve with crusty French bread.

Note: When making this with fresh ingredients, I saute the chicken, mushrooms and onion in 1/4 cup of Italian salad dressing. Flavor!
