White Chicken Chile is the perfect party food for

The NFL Play Off Games!

Just So Yummy.

This Creamy White Chicken Chile is one of those recipes that feels

like a hug in a bowl. It's made with juicy shredded chicken, 

soft white beans, green chiles and a creamy, flavorful

broth that ties everything together perfectly like a

TOUCHDOWN!

Just Simple Comfort Food That Always Delivers. :)

I said this recipe was SIMPLE so grab two Roast Chickens

from your favorite market... it's not cheating.

Don't be roasting your own Chicken :)

Pull off all the Chicken and set it aside.

The Next Players...

More Players into the game!

Pour in 1/2 cup of Cream & 1/2 cup of Sour Cream.
