OK, here goes.  My new browser is a bit different, so lets test
it.
Attached (I hope) is my very favorite recipe.  Give it a try,
you will like it.  Think positive, you will like it.  It won two
local chili cook-offs, even if the other entrants didn't think
it was really chili.

Bony appitite

  WHITE CHILI

   2 1/2  cups          water
   1      teaspoon      lemon pepper
   1      teaspoon      cumin seed
   4                    chicken breast halves, approx. 1 1/2 lb. -- skin
				removed
   1      teaspoon      olive oil
   1      clove         garlic -- minced
   1      cup           onion -- chopped
   2      9 oz. pkg.    Green Giant Frozen White Shoepeg Corn -- thawed
   1      cup		    yellow chiles, diced (hungarian, caloro, habs - orange
				is close to yellow) but in a pinch, even canned green
				chiles will do.		
   1      teaspoon      cumin -- ground
   3      tablespoons   lime juice
   2      15 oz. cans   Northern Beans -- undrained
   1      cup           tortilla chips -- crushed
   1      cup           monterey jack cheese -- shredded

Combine all salsa ingredients in medium bowl; mix well.  Refrigerate 30 minutes
or more to blend the flavors.  Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine water,
1 teaspoon lemon pepper and cumin seed; bring to a boil.  Add chicken breasts.
Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 to 28 minutes or until chicken is fork
tender and juices run clear.  Remove chicken from bones; cut into bite size
pieces.  Return chicken to saucepan.  Add olive oil to medium skillet and saute
the onions and garlic until tender, add to chicken mixture.  Add the corn,
chiles, ground cumin and lime juice to the chicken mixture.  Bring to a boil.
Add the beans; cook until throughly heated.  To serve, place a handful each of
tortilla chips and cheese in a bowl; ladle hot chili over cheese.  Slop some
of the salsa verde on top and stir it all up.  Good stuff!
