White Chicken Chili

Ingredients:
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 cups half and half (1 pint)
1 1/2 tsp chili powder (you can add more if you like)
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 4oz cans of diced green chilies
4 cooked and shredded chicken breasts
3 cans navy beans (must be Bush's brand)
1 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese

Directions:
Melt butter in pot and whisk in 1/4 cup of flour. Let cook for 1 minute then whisk in the chicken broth and 2 cups of half and half. Whisk continually so it doesn't burn. Simmer until thick. When thickened add chili powder, salt, pepper, and cumin. Add green chilies, navy beans, chicken, and cheese. Warm through and serve. You can serve with cheese, diced tomatoes, and sour cream if desired.

I have a similar recipe, and it is yummy! We always add a bunch of cilantro--but we LOVE cilantro!
