A fast, easy recipe for White Chicken Chili. Filled with chicken, corn, white beans, and green chiles. Comforting and healthy!
Happy New Year, everyone! Is 2015 off to a good start for you? So far, so good for me. We’ve been hunkering down the last few days because it has been downright freezing around here. I know, it’s January – hello, it’s supposed to be cold. I’m just not used to it being this cold. So until the temps get back up into the 70’s (later this week, yippee), I’m locking myself inside and cooking all the warm, comforting dishes I can think of.

This is a great weeknight meal. It comes together in under 30 minutes. Plus, the leftovers keep well for meals in the following days. And if the start of the new year has you watching your diet, a bowl of this chili makes for a healthy and wholesome meal. It’s so full of flavor you won’t even know that it’s good for you. It’s the perfect way to kick off the (chilly) new year.
