White Chicken Chili
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.
