1 can (4 oz.) diced green chilies, undrained
¼ cup cilantro
shredded jack or queso cheese
sour cream

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat add onions and cook until tender; add the garlic at the end so it does not burn. Stir in chili pepper flakes, flour, chili powder, cumin and oregano and let cook a minute. Stir in the milk and let thicken.
Add remaining ingredients except cilantro (corn,beans, chicken stock, chicken and chilies); stir to combine;simmer 20 minutes. Before serving stir in chopped cilantro.
To serve ladle into bowl and top with shredded jack cheese and top with a dollop of sour cream.
Serves 8.

  2. I have made this ever since I took your lunch class about 4-5 years ago when you were in Gurnee. I make it with turkey and I always get rave reviews. I made a pot today and put it in the freezer to take it to my sister's house in WI tomorrow. I can't wait to eat it! YUM!
