There’s nothing like a big bowl of chili on cold winter nights in Chicago. I’ve eaten red chili for years, and never tried making white chili until last year. Not only was it so easy to make, the taste blew me away. You can use leftover rotisserie chicken (I get a big rotisserie chicken from Costco and just shred it) and throw in the rest of the ingredients, and you’re done! How easy is that?!? Perfect for weeknight meals at home.

Pretty nice post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I have really loved surfing around your weblog posts.
Thank you so much!!
I love Nicole’s recipes. I had a similar chicken chili I have made in the past but this one is even better and will be my new go to! I shredded a rotisserie chicken which made it really quick to prep and a great weeknight meal! And I love that it calls for ingredients I typically have on hand! This will definitely be finding a permanent place in my recipe rotation!
