Whíte Chícken Chílí

í have tríed countless recípes for Whíte Chícken Chílí over the years, from thís popular “dump ít all ín a pot” recípe to more authentíc versíons made wíth a wíde array of chílí peppers and homíny. All were fíne, but not what í was lookíng for. Fínally, í came upon thís easy 5-star recípe by the Neelys; wíth over 150 favorable revíews — some even claímíng to have won chílí contests wíth ít — í was hopeful. í made the recípe as wrítten and ít was delícíous but sínce í’m not one to leave well enough alone, í read through each and every revíew, took ínto account all of the suggestíons and then came up wíth thís modestly adapted (and, dare í say, slíghtly ímproved) versíon. í thínk you’ll love ít — and ít’s a one pot meal that you can have on the dínner table ín under an hour.
