White Chicken Chili

2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 large onion, chopped

1 dried chili pepper cut in half for flavor (I'm a baby with spice :p, can sub a 1/2-1 cup of mild green chilies)
3 LARGE cloves garlic, chopped
2 cans great northern beans
2 cans cannelloni beans
32 oz organic vegetable broth
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp fresh black pepper
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne

1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (optional)
2 cups cooked free-range turkey or chicken, shredded
1 tbsp arrowroot powder
Sea salt to taste



Heat oil in a large stock pot and add onion, garlic, and chili(es).  Cook for a few minutes until tender. Stir in beans, broth, and spices.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes.  As chili simmers, mash or puree some of the beans to thicken the chili. Stir in coconut milk. Add turkey/chicken.  For the most tender chili, you can buy a pre-cooked rotisserie or slow cook your own... otherwise you can boil it and shred it. Cover and simmer for another 10 minutes.  Take off heat and mix in arrow root powder to thicken, allow to sit for while and thicken up. Add sea salt and white pepper to taste & enjoy :)
