Easy Peasy White Chicken Chili
Some evenings the day has just been so long that making dinner is the absolute last thing on Earth that I want to do. This chili is absolutely perfect for those nights :D.
I love this recipe because, honestly, it is barely a recipe. It is just about the easiest thing I could imagine- open a few can, buy a pre-cooked chicken, plop it all in a pot, and cook. That’s why it’s so great for nights when you just don’t want to spend the time flipping, stirring, and sweating over the stove.
On top of this recipe being incredibly simple, it’s remarkably delicious. It’s rich, yet still light because it is brothy as opposed to a thicker red chili, and the corn adds a nice sweetness that is complimented by the slight kick of spiciness you get from the green chilies. I topped mine with some pepperjack cheese, but the toppings are really endless- avocado, tortilla strips, sour cream, greek yogurt, cilantro- anything you can think up that would be delicious!
There is nothing more satisfying than curling up with a big bowl of some of this chili, piping hot, on a cold rainy day :).
I should probably also mention that this chili makes awesome leftovers!
