This chicken chili is going to warm you right up in the most delicious way!

Boy is it cold outside . . .

We’re in Idaho celebrating the birth of our first grandchild! {love!}

Little Elena Marie, 3 days old in this photo.

Temps here in Idaho recently got down to -18 (-30 with wind chill).

Am I whining a little?  Maybe.  I’m originally from San Diego so . . . I’ve never experienced anything like these temperatures before!

I will tell you this chicken chili sure hit the spot.

We fed a big, hungry group and even had leftovers.

This would be a great recipe for Game Day.

I have to admit I cheated a little by using a roasted chicken from the grocery store.

The roasted chicken was a splurge.  But under the circumstances (new baby, crowded apartment, lots of hungry and tired people), I’m forgiving myself.

In a “normal” situation, I would use the meat from baked, grilled or poached chicken breasts.

I was tempted to add some carrots to this but was shut down by Jeff.  Boo!

I still think the addition of carrots would be really good.

I’m not sure I’d call it “chili,” but it would be delicious.

Enjoy! – The Recipe Wench
