I crave White Chicken Chili on a very cold winter day, and yesterday was one of those days. This is a great alternative to a Texas Style Chili. It is a little lighter and has a bit of a Mexican flare to it.

I think my favorite part of chili is all the different toppings and add-ins you can incorporate. Some of my favorite are:
- shredded cheese
- salsa
- sour cream
- jalapenos
- cilantro
- avocados
- Texas Pete Hot Sauce (yum!)
- green chilies
- Rotel tomatoes
- corn or tortilla chips
- corn bread
As you can see, there are many ways to make this dish your own. In fact, I am giving you two versions below. One is using McCormick’s White Chicken Chili seasoning packet, the other is using your own herbs and seasonings. (The one I make is determined by what I have on hand.)
In the picture above, I used diced chicken breasts because that is what I had, but my preference is shredded rotisserie chicken. This is a great meal to make with leftovers from my Roast Sticky Chicken.
