White Chicken Chili image

Skip your standard recipe, white chili is totally worth your while. Made with chicken, white beans and broth, this version is amenable to whatever heat level (or lack thereof) that you desire, and it's plenty hearty, though its consistency is less chunky than red chile. What really defines this recipe is its brighter, fresher flavor, which is due to the use of broth, a garnish of cilantro and inclusion of green chiles. Contrary to what you might imagine, green chiles are not hot. They're just delicious. So if you've got a package of chicken on hand, why not give this a try?
