White Chili, Popovers, Salad

My friend, Lauri made this chili for my women's group and we all went ape! The original recipe was taken from a woman named Renita, who posted it on www.recipezaar.com

Here is my adaptation--everyone says it is delicious!

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cut into ½ inch pieces
2 medium onions, chopped
½ teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon cumin
2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups chicken broth or water
2 (15 1/2 ounce) pinto beans, drained
1 cup sour cream
1 cup whipping cream

Directions Heat olive oil in soup pot. Saute onion and chicken until chicken is no longer pink. Add garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, cayenne and green chilies and stir. Add broth or water and beans and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add sour cream and cream and heat through. Serve. Pass the Frank’s hot sauce!!

Popovers: this recipe is a combination of my sister Rachel's recipe (dubbed "Never fail" and they are awesome but I was missing a key ingredient tonight) and the recipe from the Joy of cooking:

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk

Preheat oven to 450. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir with a fork. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray. Fill cups 2/3 full (this should make about 10 popovers, give or take) add water to any remaining cups so you don't burn them. Bake for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350 and bake for 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
