Several years ago I came across a recipe that was supposed to be a secret.  I know you’re not supposed to keep secrets and especially ones you can eat.  But this secret creamy white chicken chili recipe should be shared with everyone because it is quite frankly one of the best chili recipes ever!  I’ve even won a chili cook-off or two with this amazing recipe.

It’s very versatile as well.  You can add some cheese and eat it with tortilla chips or you can exclude the chicken if it isn’t your thing.  But it has a rich creamy base that sends my taste buds into heavenly places. 

So after giving you this recipe, you can’t say I’ve never shared a secret.
