Yummy!
I made this chili when we got back home from our ski weekend in Steamboat, CO. Since we spent the weekend in the cold, I felt the need to make something that would warm us up. This White Chicken Chili recipe did just that! It’s super easy to throw together after a long day of skiing or even after a day at work. Despite the most time-consuming step of shredding the chicken, this recipe can be made in under 45 minutes. In order to cut down on time, simply cut the raw chicken into small, bite size pieces and add to the chicken stock to cook. No need remove from the pot or shred. Also, this recipe is easily made in the crock pot. See the note at the bottom of the recipe for crock pot instructions.
Steamboat, CO
We had a fantastic weekend in Steamboat! It was great to get away for a few days and enjoy all the great snow they have had. I wish I could say I am coming home relaxed and refreshed, however, I am exhausted! We spent 3 full days of snowboarding and my legs are feeling it! If you have never been to Steamboat, it is a beautiful resort, mountain and town. It is well-known for its champagne powder and always seems to have great snow for skinning or snowboarding. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful place to visit year-round.
