This SCREAMS 6 *s It was sooo good. I couldnt belive the taste. I did make some changes. I boiled the chicken in water, to omit the oil. I also doubled the cumin, pepper, and mustard and put it all in the crockpot on high for 3 hours. It turned out so wonderful! I didnt use any chips, sour cream or cheese...the taste was fabulous by itself and I wanted to savor it! Thanks for a keeper!

Ohhhhh Shari2!!!!! Did this ever hit the spot! We had a cold rainy day and I thought perfect to make your White Chicken Chili. I made it exactly as you stated and it was tummy-patting good. I recommend this to everyone. :-)

I have always wanted to make white chili, and this recipe was a good base. I immediately noticed the lack of fluid vs. the beans and chicken (only 1 cup?), so I used 1-14.5oz can chicken broth for the fluid, plus 1 cup of water. I also used Cannellini beans (white kidney beans - more consistent with a chili recipe!). I used the spices as stated but added a tsp. of chili powder. Also think about using rotisserie chicken with this - that's what I did - just shredded it up. My hubby and I loved it. No optional ingredients needed except I put a little chopped cilantro on mine! When I sauteed the onions and garlic, I made a roux by adding a tbsp of butter and a tbsp of butter b/c I like thick chili then added the liquids until thick and proceeded with the recipe. It was great.

A new family favorite! I didn't expect to like this one at all, but even our pickest of eaters is a fan. I've even substitued a can black eyed peas and pinto beans, simply b/c I was out of the white ones, and it was just as good!

I took this recipe up a notch to spicy. I did use chicken stock, leftover chicken, diced smoked sausage, can of green chilies, pinch of cayenne pepper and a couple slashes of hot sauce. Simmered 5 hours in the crock pot. Excellent. Good base recipe.

I am a mother of 3 Children. 1 boy (21) and 2 girls (12 & 19). The picture is of my youngest DD and her dad right before they left for a daughter/father dance on 04/07/06. I work full time and like to find quick and simple recipes to make when I get home or leave for oldest DD to cook for dinner.  My oldest DD loves to make the side dishes for dinner so I'm always looking for something she can make. I have a very large collection of cookbooks with Betty Crocker still being my favorite of all even if it is falling apart. lol <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /> <a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></a><img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/ScrapBook.png border=0 alt=Made by Bella14ragazza /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /><img title=Photo and Video Sharing src=http://www.pickle.com/plink/ph/795B07337A4704307B51032E7C590636795E1C512307476E143E5A652E076C347C5F02307A5F0032140741682C4659712C.jpg border=0 alt=coolmonday-particiation /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif alt= /><img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png border=0 alt=Made by Bella14ragazza /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= />http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u208/diner_photos/ZWT5banner.jpg
