I am obsessed with warm comforting meals right now. Maybe its the terribly cold weather, maybe its the ease of a one pot meal, maybe its that there is so much deliciousness in this bowl… I LOVE this White Chicken Chili!!! This chili comes together really easily and the flavors are fantastic and I just can’t get enough.
I made a simple roast chicken the other day to make a few meals, this one included {you can of course use a store bought roast chicken too}. I also made my basic chicken soup, two great meals from one chicken! This White Chicken Chili has a base of chicken broth and green taco sauce. Mixed in is some cumin, chopped green chilis, navy beans and shredded chicken.
If all that weren’t enough I decided to finish this chili off with some diced red onion, fresh cilantro, diced avocado and some simple corn tortilla strips. These toppings really brighten the dish up and add great flavor and texture. I served the chili over a scoop of brown rice. Each ingredient adds incredible flavor and they all work so well together.
This White Chicken Chili is much milder in flavor then a typical tomato based chili. The flavors in this one are on the brighter side and I just love it. I have no idea why I waited so long to make this! I really really enjoyed this dish! You all have got to try this asap, it will no doubt be a new favorite of yours too!
