Ingredients

4-5 cans navy beans
1 onion large, chopped fine
1 stick butter I used extra virgin olive oil for the sauteing instead
1/3 C flour
3 C chicken broth
4 C half and half I used fat free
1/2 tsp. chili powder more to taste
1/2 tsp. ground cumin more to taste
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 4 oz can of chilies chopped
4-5 chicken breasts boneless skinless
2 cups Colby Jack Cheese
1/2 Cup sour cream I didn't add this and it was still amazing

Instructions

You can cook the chicken to your preference by boiling, microwaving, grilling or sauteing. I preferred to saute the meat after defrosting. Chop chicken into 1/2" bite size pieces and set aside in the main pot you'll be using for your chili. Add beans.
Saute onions in butter or olive oil and set aside.
In separate heavy pan, melt 4 tablespoons butter and whisk in the flour without browning.
Stir in onions and gradually add broth and half and half make sure to whisk constantly so that you don't have the roux sauce sticking or burning as you add the liquid. Simmer 5 minutes to allow it to thicken and then add it to your chili pot.
Stir in seasonings, chilies, cheese and simmer stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. stir in sour cream just before serving.
