Nothing says comfort like a bowl or mug of something warm! As I look out the window at our snowy wonderland I am thankful for dishes like chilies, stews and soups.
This creamy white chicken chili is the perfect hearty meal to keep you warm! Chunks of chicken, three types of white beans, two cheeses, and green chilies for a little bit of a kick make this white chicken chili flavorful and oh so good to eat!
Do you have leftover turkey from your Thanksgiving dinner? Make this white chili and add some of that turkey in! This white chicken chili is great as leftovers too!
