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! 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 love this recipe, it gets me to do something I never do, and that is eat beans!! The only thing I do different is that I dont use the green chilis and I put this chilli over rice with a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro and crushed tortilla chips, its awesome!
