What I love about white chicken chili is how it just warms me up – body and soul.  I don’t know what it is about chili that makes you so happy and content, but that is exactly what you become; content through and through.

Sometimes you find a recipe online and realize that the steps it takes to make it are just too difficult.  Well, you won’t get that with this amazing recipe.  

Not only does this have incredible flavor (my husband let out a full on “Mmmmh” when he ate it the first time), it is so simple to make.

Ingredients you will need for this recipe

The secret to making this dinner super quick is cooking the chicken breasts in with everything else.  You read that right.  

You don’t have to cook the chicken ahead of time.  You add the raw chicken straight into the pot and cook it with all the delicious spices and beans.

As the temperature starts to really cool down (it’s almost December y’all), I know that I will be making this recipe quite a few times.
