White chicken chili

Prep:10minCook:1h

we found not one but three solutions to plan chicken chili recipes. to fix watery sauce, we pureed some of our sauteed chili onion mixture and beans with the broth just like in the base. to avoid floating bits of rubbery chicken, we browned, poached, and shredded bone in, skin on chicken breast, which gave our chicken pieces a hearty texture and full flavor. And to solve the problem of insufficient chili flavor, we used a trio of flesh chilies, jalapeno, poblano, and Anaheim. adjust the heat in this dish by adding the minced ribs and seeds from the jalapeno as directed in step 6. if Anaheim chilies cannot be found, add an additional poblano and jalapeno to the chili. this dish can also be successfully made by substituting chicken thighs for chicken breast. if using thighs, increase the cooking time and step four to about 40 minutes. serve chili with sour cream, tortilla chips, and lime wedges.
