WHITE CHICKEN CHILI



White Chicken Chili image

From America's Test Kitchen. A very thick, filling chili. If you like yours more soup-like, I would suggest adding a little more chicken broth. We like our soups thick, so this was perfect for our tastes. Adjust the heat in this dish by adding the minced ribs and seeds from the jalapeño at the end of cooking time. If Anaheim chiles cannot be found, add an additional poblano and jalapeño to the chili. This dish can also be successfully made by substituting chicken thighs for the chicken breasts. If using thighs, increase the cooking time to about 40 minutes. Serve chili with sour cream, tortilla chips, and lime wedges.
