Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

This is an amazing white chicken chili recipe. It’s no wonder it was a big winner for Rita! The white chili is on the lighter side. While it may not have any cream, it’s full of flavor. Cumin really gives it the Southwest flavor you expect from chili. The salsa verde brings the chili to the next level of goodness. Fresh and full of flavor, the salsa is award-worthy in and of itself, and when paired with the white bean chili it’s simply unbelievable.
