Chunky Spicy White Chicken Chili
Spicy Chunky White Chicken Chili
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 soupier 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! Â 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!!!

I made this last night. Very good Monique. Now, it did have the taste of Tortilla Soup…my favorite. So next time I will add rotel tomatoes, sour cream and chips…thanks so much hun!
Really good girly, I love the cheese flavor! I will be printing this out
I made this recipe on Mon and I loved it and I am not a big fan of beans, but I was tearing this chili up. Put it with some homemade cornbread and I was in heaven! Hubby loved it as well!
I made this last night, it was yummy. A little too spicy for me, so next time I'll have to cut back on that some. I ended up adding a little more broth to even it out. Learning experience. Husband loved it.
I made this for lunch today, it's rainy outside, and its so good Diva. I added extra cheese and I loved this.
I make with diced tomatoes and top with guacomole, sour cream and seasoned tortilla strips for added flavor. Almost taste like tortilla soup. I may try this version, I've never tried it with celery.
