It’s just starting to snow outside as I write this. I’m most certainly not ready for the snow this early, so to combat the cold, I’m cooking the one thing that’s name implies the opposite effect: chili. And not just any chili – white chicken chili.
My white chili is packed with everything from sweet corn to green chilies. It’s a sinus clearing extravaganza that’s packed with protein, which means this chili might actually cure the common cold. You can substitute ground chicken for a roast chicken if you prefer a chunkier chili. The broth the chili cooks in is creamy and delicious, so not matter how you like your chicken, you are definitely in for a delicious dinner.
I topped my chili with a dollop of Greek yogurt, fresh jalapenos and a fresh spritz of lime. Now that I have this recipe in my arsenal, I can conquer any cold winter night, no problem!
