White Chicken Chili

This is supposedly a weight watchers recipe from Ruby Tuesday's that I found online a while ago. It's got a good kick to it!

Ingredients:
6 cups chicken stock
1 lb great northern beans soaked overnight (I use canned instead)
2 medium onions chopped
6 cups chicken cooked and diced or shredded
2 jalapeno peppers seeded and diced (I leave a few seeds in for flavor)
2 diced chili peppers
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano (I use Mexican Oregano)
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup salsa
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions:
1. Simmer beans, half the onions, and half the garlic for 2 hours in the chicken stock or until the beans soften, stirring frequently.
2. Add chicken and salsa.
3. Saute pepper, spices, and the remaining onions and garlic in the oil and add to chili.
4. Simmer for another hour.
5. Garnish with sour cream, monterey jack cheese, and tortilla chips.
