White chicken chili

My mother in law Lynette makes an amazing white chicken chili. As with all things Grandma makes, my wife and kids assure me this is better than anything I ever cook. My wife Tracie talked about this for years until I finally started making it for our family. It is easy, tasty and a great meal especially during the cold months of year! We usually start by seasoning a chicken with The Gospel, smoking it, pulling that meat and chopping it. However, you can certainly buy a rotisserie chicken or use canned if you like. As always, we add our smoke element by smoking this, but you can create this in a slow cooker.

Prepare your smoker at 225 using hickory or pecan wood.

Step 8

Cook on medium setting for 3 - 4 hours. You can increase to a hotter setting if time is not on your side as these ingredients are already cooked. You are simply trying to break down the chicken and meld the flavors.

Step 9

Top each serving with shredded cheese. We like to add freshly cracked black pepper, cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
