White Chicken Chili – delicious, nutritious & healthy! This chili comes together relatively quickly and is sure to become a family favorite!
Apparently I am a fan of soup, chili and everything made in ‘one pot’ since that’s what I’ve been posting lately. However, this White Chicken Chili is really not something to be missed. I have recipe tested this a few times now and each time we’ve eaten the entire thing for dinner. I have learned a few things from recipe testing this chili I thought I would share:
- Broccoli rice is my new favorite thing
- I don’t love Trader Joe’s coconut milk (sorry, not sorry)
- Sometimes chicken thighs have too much fat and make this chili oily (Originally I used all chicken thighs, but the combo of breasts & thighs is perfect!)
Currently, I’m in the middle of Whole 30 [today is day 11] and I am feeling great so far! Although last night I had a dream about drinking Champagne… pretty sure that is my ‘dreaming of junk food’ phase. Cheers to that!
