White Chicken Chili
It’s time to cozy up with a comfy bowl of …
White Chicken Chili!
It’s so delicious. I really have nothing more to add than that. HA…well maybe just a little bit more 😉
You know those foods that just warm you up inside and put a smile on your face? This is one of those foods for me. Love it!
I use to think that Chili could never be a Chili without it being beefy, THEN I tasted a bowl of this hearty White Chili and I wondered what took me so long to get over that mental hurdle that I had clung to for so long.
Now if you ask what my favorite Chili recipe would be, this is the one! It’s hearty, but not heavy. It can be made to be as hot and spicy or as mild and mellow as you like.
Being that I have young children and I don’t want to see their sweet little eyes water and faces turn red from overly spicy food, I tend to keep the extra heat on the side in the form of HOT sauce! I must say though, that my oldest is getting rather brave lately and enjoying her food spicier nowadays. 😉
I enjoy the simplicity of this recipe. You shred a store bought rotisserie chicken, pop open some beans, add in some Carroll Shelby’s Chili mix and few extra yummies and it’s ready in 30 minutes. You can also make it in the slow cooker and come home ready for it to dive in to. Simple. Done.
With the apparent endless winter still staring us down (except not so much for us wimpy Floridians who bundle up below 60F and consider that a Siberian winter) this is a beaut of a meal to tuck into and warm you up.
Enjoy it served up with tortilla chips, over Rice or even turned into a tasty burrito. It really is a perfect comfort food.
