Ingredient: frozen corn

Chicken Chili for those tailgating nights!

White chili, also known as Chicken Chili is a favorite in our house. Now that Fall & Winter is arriving, who doesn’t love chili especially when watching your favorite football team? Chili is actually very easy to make on a boat in a small galley and it keeps for a few days for great leftovers.

While I love traditional chili, there’s something about Chicken Chili that is just as tasty and makes me feel like I’m eating healthier! Happy cooking!

Recipe Notes

Since I don't like chopping onions & other veggies, especially on a boat, I use my Onion Chopper by Müeller  . It works great, collects the onion in the bin (no mess and no tears) and the clean up is easy!
