White Chicken Chili

During this weird weather time we call Spring where it can be 85 degrees one minute and 32 degrees the next-I find it hard to make something that can works for both. So the other day when it was chilly but the sun was shining bright I decided to make White Chicken Chili. This is a great recipe because it is light but full of rich, hearty flavor. Naturally it is perfect for this crazy weather.

Another reason why this recipe is so nice is that it can be made for the amount of people that you have to feed from two to twenty. It can also have the heat level adjusted to your liking.


Here is the Recipe:


White Chicken Chili (This is enough for 2 to 4 people)


1 1/2 cups of shredded chicken
1 can of white beans (drained and rinsed)
1 onion chopped
4 cloves of garlic chopped
2 cups of chicken broth
1/2 of a beer (I used PBR)
1 can of chopped green chilies
1 tablespoon of hot sauce
1 teaspoon of adobo seasoning
1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
salt and pepper to taste


In a medium size pot or dutch oven cook the onion and garlic with some oil until the onion is translucent. Then add the green chilies and saute for about two more minutes.


Then add the shredded chicken, beans, and spices. Once you have mixed this mixture together you can add the chicken broth and beer.

Bring the chili to a boil then let the mixture simmer for ten to twenty minutes. The liquid will  reduce some. You can use this time to adjust the seasoning to your preferred spice level.


The longer you simmer the chili, the better the flavor. While letting the chili simmer- I made tortilla bowls. To make the bowl just take oven-proof bowls and put place a medium size tortilla shell in the bowl and fold it so it fit in the bowl. Bake the bowls in the oven at 400 degrees for about ten minutes or until the bowl is crisp.

When the chili is done, serve in the tortilla bowls and top with shredded sharp cheddar cheese.


This recipe is so very yummy and very healthy for you. If you do not like spice cut back on the spices and green chilies. And if you want more spice just add another add another can of green chilies. It is just that simple.

Enjoy!
