WHITE CHICKEN CHILI



White Chicken Chili image

Skip your standard recipe, white chili is totally worth your while. Made with chicken, white beans and broth, this version is amenable to whatever heat level (or lack thereof) that you desire, and it's plenty hearty, though its consistency is less chunky than red chile. What really defines this recipe is its brighter, fresher flavor, which is due to the use of broth, a garnish of cilantro and inclusion of green chiles. Contrary to what you might imagine, green chiles are not hot. They're just delicious. So if you've got a package of chicken on hand, why not give this a try?

Tips:

  • For a smokier flavor, roast the poblano pepper over an open flame or under a broiler before peeling and chopping.
  • To make the chili ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • When you're ready to serve the chili, reheat it over medium heat until warmed through. You can also add additional toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, or chopped cilantro.
  • If you don't have any canned corn on hand, you can use fresh corn. Simply remove the kernels from the cob and cook them in a little bit of oil over medium heat until they're tender.
  • This chili is also great served over rice or pasta.

Conclusion:

This white chicken chili is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The chili is creamy, flavorful, and packed with protein. It's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
