Let’s
get ready for Super Bowl Sunday

Black and White Referee Chili

This
hearty soup combines chunks of white chicken breast meat with black beans—in
honor of the men who keep the game of football sane: the referees. 

1 large onion, chopped (2 cups)

1 cup chopped celery

1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

1 to 1 1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut
into 1/2-inch pieces

2 cans (14 1/2 oz. each) or 1 carton (32 oz.) chicken
broth

1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 package (2.75 oz.) no-fat or regular country gravy mix

1/2 cup cool water

2 cans (15 oz. each) black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

 

In 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, cook and stir onion
and celery in oil over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until onion is
tender.  Add chicken and cook until
chicken is longer pink.  Add chicken
broth, green chilies and cumin; heat to boiling.  Meanwhile, dissolve gravy mix in water.  Stir into boiling soup; cook and stir until
thickened.  Cover and simmer for 10
minutes to allow flavors to blend.  Stir
in beans and cilantro; heat through. Serve with Peppered Sour Cream
Biscuits.  Makes 8 servings.

 

Peppered Sour Cream Biscuits

3 cups self-rising flour

3/4 teaspoon garlic-seasoned black pepper

1 cup sour cream

2/3 cup milk

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted

 

In large bowl, stir together all ingredients to form a
ball.  Turn out onto surface dusted with
additional flour; knead dough by folding it in half 5 to 7 times.  Roll out or pat dough to 1/2-inch
thickness.  With biscuit cutter, cut into
3-inch football shapes or rounds.  Place
on baking sheet coated with cooking spray. 
Brush with additional melted butter, if desired.  Bake at 450º for 13 to 15 minutes or until
biscuits are golden brown.  Serve
warm.  Makes 12 to 14 biscuits.
