White Chicken Chili

There is nothing better on a cold day than a nice warm bowl of White Chicken Chili made with chicken, white beans, cumin, mild chilies and other spices.

I love to make chili. I have been perfecting my Texas Meat gravy competition chili recipe for years: click here for the recipe. Quinn’s Texas Chili “Meat Gravy”

I am amazed how many different chili recipes are on the web. Texas Style no beans, with beans, white chili with ground turkey or chicken and types of stews which are chili in name only.
I live near Cincinnati where chili means something totally different from the rest of the country.Cincinnati chili (or “Cincinnati-style chili”) is a regional style of chili con carne characterized by the use of seasonings such as cinnamon, cloves, allspice and chocolate. It is commonly served over spaghetti or as a hot dog sauce, and is normally of a thin, sauce-like consistency, unlike most chili con carne.
Here is a link to Bon Appetit Cincinnati Style Chili recipe.

Enough of the Cincinnati Chili., here is my recipe for White Chicken Chili. A great alternative to red chili or my Habanero Black Bean Chili!
