Grandma's White Bean Chicken Chili

Have you ever noticed how something always tastes better at Grandma's house?  That is the case at my grandma's house.  She has recipes that are so good that other family members are always trying to make them.  Sure enough though, the never taste quite the same.  So I have to admit I was a little nervous when we ate my grandma's chili at a family event and my husband decided he wanted me to get the recipe and make it.

I kind of procrastinated getting the recipe.  When I finally got a hold of my grandma she couldn't remember which recipe she had used and said she would have to look around and call me back.  Later that day when she called back I just got more nervous about trying to match her good cooking.  She couldn't find the recipe!  She found one that had similar ingredients and suggested I try that.

So a little reluctant, but trusting my grandma, we bought the ingredients and set out to make the chili.  Here's the recipe:

Grandma's White Bean Chicken Chili
1 lb canned chicken
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 t garlic powder
2 cans Great Northern or white beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup chicken broth
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies
1 t salt
1 t cumin
1 t pepper
1 t cayenne pepper (use less if you don't like spicy)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream

Now comes the easy part! Combine everything except the sour cream and whipping cream in a crock-pot.  Cook on low for 4-5 hours.  Stir in sour cream and whipping cream.  Turn crock-pot up to high until the sour cream is melted.  Stir well and serve.

Here's what it looks like:

Visually this looks a little bland to me with everything being white and brown.  But I do not care because it tastes amazing!  My husband told me repetitively that it was so good and he wanted me to make it again and I better not lose the recipe.  The best way to not loose the recipe is to post it on the blog!  Then everyone can share in the amazing chili.  Thanks Grandma!
