White Chicken Chilli

Ingredients:
-8 oz chicken breast (you can use thigh if you prefer dark meat), chopped into 1/2 inch dice
-8 oz diced pancetta (you can use bacon as well)
-1 medium onion, diced
-4 ribs of celery, diced
-3 cloves of garlic, minced
-1 15 oz can of great northern beans
-1 15 oz can garbonzo beans
-1 15 oz can of corn, drained and rinsed
-2 4 oz cans chopped green chillies
-2 tbsp ground cumin
-2 tbsp ground coriander
-2 bay leaves
-sea salt and pepper to taste
-2 cups stock (you can use water if you don't have stock)
-fresh cilantro to garnish (optional)

Directions:
-Render pancetta over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pot to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve for later
-Add onions, celery and garlic to the pot. Sweat until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add spices, bay leaves and salt and pepper. Toast spices for another 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
-Add beans, chillies and corn. ( I don't drain the beans in this recipe because I like the thickness from the liquid, but you're welcome to if you like)
-Add diced chicken to the pot, along with stock.
-Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
-Taste for seasoning. Garnish with cilantro and reserved pancetta. Enjoy!
