White Chicken Chili

Posted by Vanessa in Cooking, December 22, 2011

I’ve made this at least a dozen times, so I figured it was about time to put the recipe in my “book”.  You’re looking at a solid white chicken chili that you can easily adjust the heat level of, can make healthy or totally indulgent, and goes super well with my favorite Buttermilk Cornbread.  It’s made in the slow cooker which makes for an easy weeknight dinner when you need it.

Need I say more?
