...it's 100 degrees outside! Well, maybe not 100, but pretty darn close....it is in the high 60s and low 70s and that is NOT Christmas weather...at all! If I wanted warm weather for Christmas, I would move to Hawaii! UGH!
A fewweeks months ago, the hubster emailed me a recipe for White Chicken Chili that he found and wanted me to make.
I had been putting it off, but finally decided to go ahead and make it this past weekend. He had been traveling and I thought it would be a nice treat for him. It was easy to make and he loved it! And since he enjoyed it so much, I thought I would share it with you! It is a recipe from the Bush Beans website.
CLASSIC WHITE CHICKEN CHILI (from bushbeans.com)
I made an adjustment, or two, as always. Since the hubster likes his chili thick, I only used 1/4 can of the chicken broth. You can add or reduce this amount to your liking. I added the chicken when I added the broth so that the flavors could blend longer. I also added some garlic powder...a few shakes. And I didn't use a skillet.....I used one of my large sauce pans, but again, use what you prefer. I garnished with some chives and paired this chili with some yellow, sweet cornbread, which complimented the chili perfectly!
Yes, it was that sweet, "yeller" stuff the hubster has complained about...but he ate every bite! :-)

This recipe sound's made to order for me Benita, yummmmmm !!! I cut out red meat completely and have been making meal's I can reheat or freeze since it's usually just me. I have all the ingredients except the green chilies.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing :)) Happy Wednesday !!
Big hug's girly , TT ( btw I did cheat and had a filet last Thurs , first steak in a year and it was WONDERFUL )
Thank you so much! This one will freeze and reheat easily! The hubster loved it and I had to make him stop eating so that I could take a photo of this before it was all gone..LOL. I prefer fish, chicken and pork, but will have red meat occasionally. You will enjoy this recipe! Hugs!!!
DeleteSounds delish! Pinning. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think you will like it! :-)
DeleteNot Christmas weather here, either...flip flops and shorts in December? What? Well, this sounds good anytime of the year! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I’m so tired of this warm front…I’m ready for some parkas, scarves and gloves!! :-)
DeleteYour recipes sounds yummy and the hubster is lucky! It is nice a crisp and cold here!
ReplyDeleteThank you ma'am. Okay, so I'm coming to steal your furniture and your weather! ;-)
DeleteThis sounds awesome!! Adding to my recipes....:)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think you will like it and it is super easy to make! :-)
DeleteI am going to pin this Benita. Sounds delish.
ReplyDeleteKris
Thank you ma’am! The hubster said it was “awesome”….LOL
DeleteWhat's chili without cornbread? Do you put a bit of sugar in your cornbread?
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Exactly! This one was sweet and didn't need the sugar, but regular cornbread needs just a little.
DeleteI make a white chili similar to this and now I am craving it! putting this on the menu!
ReplyDelete:-) I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteThis looks really good, Benita. I pinned and will definitely try it! I would love to invite you to dinner here in Nebraska tonight...it is currently 34 degrees, perfect for chili!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! YES…I would definitely come over…that is beautiful weather to have around the holidays…or really anytime. I cannot stand the heat! :-) Hugs!!
DeleteI'm craving this now!! I know I have some similar recipes but this looks really fast. Love that you had cornbread with it, I make it with clili a lot but never thought of it with chicken chili. I like to throw some cheddar cheese in the cornbread. Wow, I'm so hungry now!!
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to have a warm up but someone was misinformed..ha! 30's and windy. Well it's better than 10 below!

It is really fast and really easy! In under 30 minutes it is done and on the table, including the cornbread! I wouldn’t have thought to put chicken in the chili until the hubster found this recipe…and just kept after me to make it. He loved it and I think you could definitely mix some cheese into the cornbread. Or have some cheddar garlic biscuits with it….okay, now I’m hungry….LOL Love the colder weather! We have finally gotten a small reprieve and I’m with you…no to the 10 below!!! Hugs chickie!!
DeleteMove to Hawaii – yeah right – I call your bluff! That would involve air travel and we all know you are not going to subject yourself to that! LOL We had a warmer fall but are now getting colder weather – tomorrows low is –25F with the wind chill and we got about 5 inches of snow in the last wk so I have plenty to share and will be sure to send some of both down south to you. In the meantime if you can’t beat em join em - buy a snow cone machine and sprinkle them liberally with your Peppermint Sugar! Lol
ReplyDeleteExactly!!! And there is no way in heaven or hell I'm flying across that much water...I would have to be completely sedated and carried onto the plane on a stretcher...or a straight jacket! Please send some snow and cold weather this way...I'm really against these warmer temps for the holidays. It is supposed to be almost 70 on Christmas...YUCK!! LOL...I can do that!!
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteOh my, yes, I am pinning this one. Thank You!!
Thank you ma’am! I think you will enjoy it! :-)
