Spicy Chunky White Chicken Chili
I was first introduced to white chicken chili through my mother-in-law and simply fell in love with it. It looked like such a complex chili that would take all day to make, but I knew that if she made it then that most definitely wasn't the case. She is the queen of all recipes quick, easy and delicious!
This chicken chili is adapted from her recipe and makes one BANGIN pot of white chicken chili. Everyone has their preference on the consistency of chili. Some like it soupy and some like it chunky. I prefer the latter but if you like a more soupy white chicken chili them simply add more chicken broth to the recipe.
This white chicken chili recipe is so hearty and the PERFECT chili to serve on a cold day when you're not in the mood for a heavy traditional style chili. It has that spicy kick, juicy chunks of chicken, flavorful onions, celery, garlic & cheese! You really can't go wrong with this stuff! Even bean haters tend to tolerate this chili.
Pair this bad boy up with some cornbread or crusty, buttered french bread and you got something going on!!!
