I have HAD IT with Winter... but it doesn't seem to be getting the message since today it is snowing again with a windchill advisory of -8.   This is actually pretty unusual around here, but there isn't much anyone can do about it.  So, lets make some chili!

 

1 large onion, chopped
  6 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds chopped chicken breast 

2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons chili powder
3 tablespoons tapioca or potato starch

 2 (15-ounce cans) cannellini or other white beans
1 bunch (about 1 pound) Swiss chard chopped, stems included!

 11/2 cups frozen peas

 4 cups chicken stock
Freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
Seasalt to taste

1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf Parsley

Put everything in a crockpot and let it simmer on medium for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. 

 

 

Keep Warm and Enjoy!
