White Chicken Chili

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.
