White Chicken Chili with Sweet Potatoes
Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter which means the temperatures still have time to drop and there’s always a chance for more snow. White chicken chili with sweet potatoes is a great, hearty chili recipe that will help get you through these last few weeks of winter. It’s the perfect dish to prepare on a cold, snowy day when you’re stuck indoors. Chili powder, hot pepper flakes and roasted green chilies bring just the right amount of heat to the chili. The lime juice and cilantro compliment the heat with a fresh, citrus flavor. Using a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store cuts back on prep time and it already comes seasoned to perfection. Don’t forget your Great Northern beans. Once all of your ingredients are prepped and in the stockpot, leave them to cook for 25-30 minutes, then serve immediately. Top it off with some sour cream and cilantro leaves. This chili recipe makes being snowed in so much more enjoyable.
Crock-pot White Chicken Chili
If you’re tired of chili recipes that only call for a few cups of beans and a few slivers of meat then we have the answer to your prayers. This recipe guarantees you will get a variety of meat, beans and flavor in every spoonful. It calls for three, yes three pounds of chicken and a whole lot of beans. The recipe also has a plethora of peppers in it. Try saying that five times fast. The roasted peppers add some heat, but aren’t overly spicy and have a nice smokey flavor that compliments the chili. If you like your chili to have a thicker consistency, puree some of the beans and mix them with chicken stock to make the base of the chili. After your chili is done cooking, stir in a cup of plain, greek yogurt before serving. This will definitely make the chili stick to your ribs. Season with salt, pepper and a bit of lime juice and don’t forget the cornbread!
