Ghostly White Chicken Chili

Happy Halloween!! To celebrate this ghoulish nite I made a Ghostly White Chicken Chili.  What you will  need if you choose to take part in the gore is: 2 lbs ground chicken breast, 1 large store bought rotisserie chicken removed from carcass and shredded, 1 tbs canola oil, 4 cloves garlic minced, 2 jalapenos chopped (seeded if you can't handle the heat), 2 poblano peppers seeded and chopped, 1 large yellow onion chopped, juice of 2 limes, 1 large handful of cilantro chopped, 2 tbs ancho chili powder, 3 tbs cumin, 2 tsp coriander, S&P to taste, 2 14.5oz cans cannellini beans rinsed and drained (mash 1 can of the beans with a potato masher), 4 C unsalted chicken stock, grated white cheddar cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips (Scoops are great for this).  Ok, let's cook.  Take a large pot, I used my medium size Le Creuset (if you don't have one of these you should definitely make the investment-well worth the money and will last a lifetime) and heat the oil over med heat.  Add your garlic, peppers and onions to pot and saute for about 5 minutes or until the veg is soft.  Add your ground chicken and continue to cook until no longer pink, breaking the chicken up into bite size pieces as it cooks. Add your spices and lime juice and continue to cook for about 5 minutes add S&P to taste.  Add the chicken stock, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.  Add roasted chicken, beans and cilantro and continue to cook for an another 5 minutes.  Serve the chili in bowls, topped with grated cheddar cheese and sour cream and use the tortilla chips for scooping, I dare you to try this!!
