White Chicken Chili

White Chicken Chili is the ultimate comfort food when your looking for a healthier version on the old classic.

Full of  tender chicken breast and white beans in a creamy, cheesy sauce will have your family and friends coming back for seconds.

You won’t have leftovers, but if you do this is one of those freezer friendly recipe for a ready made meal.

actually make a double batch purposely to freeze. These containers from Amazon they store easily, come in different sizes

are freezer and microwave friendly, don’t freeze the Chili with the toppings, add them just before serving.

Topping White Chicken Chili

white chicken chili like all chilis it’s about the toppings. I topped this one with sour cream, lime, cheese and tortilla chips, that I cut into ribbons and air fried in my Cuisinart  toaster/air fryer.

If you don’t have an air fryer all I can say is, of all of the appliances in my kitchen it is the one I use the most. It fries, bakes, roasts and toast all in one toaster/air fryer.

Back to the topping the Chili there are as many possibilities as there are different types of chili. Experiment with different combinations find want fits your lifestyle and taste.
