After a difficult pregnancy and extended hospital stay, I brought my baby girl home to a fridge full of care packages from many wonderful friends. Our fridge was full of ready-to-heat meals to make our homecoming easier for my growing family. One of our favorites was white chicken chili courtesy of one of my husband's co-workers. It was even better the second day!

When I requested the recipe, I got a list of ingredients with the following directions: Dump. Heat. Serve. It truly can be that simple, but I've altered the recipe to make it "second-day tasty" the first day I make it.

My family likes this recipe mild. If you prefer spicier chili, double the spices for added flavor.

How To Make white chicken chili

  • 2
    Add beans and simmer until heated through, less than an hour. (Saving the beans for this last step keeps them from becoming mushy.)
