The Botto White Bean Chicken Chili



     2Bit is pretty fond of chili, particularly White Bean Chili. So, when our dear friend, Wesley Botto, invited us over to watch the game and try his mom's chili he had made, 2Bit became very interested to try the recipe. So, we decided to take a stab at it....This is one of those recipes where it's so delicious that you can't believe it's so easy... and pretty flippin healthy too. 2Bit loves healthy!

White Bean Chicken Chili

2 chicken breasts
1 c water
1 16 oz. jar of salsa (med or to taste)
1 32 oz can of White Northern beans (most any white bean will do fine- navy, cannellini)
2 tsp chili powder
2-4 c shredded cheddar cheese (recipe called for 4, we did 2 and didn't miss the extra 2 cups)
2 cloves of garlic (optional)*
1/2 c onion (optional)*

1. Boil the chicken until done, then shred.
2. Mix all ingredients in crock pot
3. Cook 2.5 hours on high or 4.5 hours on low

*2Bit added the onion and garlic b/c we really can't cook without those staples and we thought for a nice kick, you could also add fresh chopped jalapenos.

This chili was truly delicious and everyone loved it. It is perfect for football season! This is definitely a 2Bit favorite. I will probably make it again this week.

  2. Not gonna lie Cara, I secretly have been stalking your blog from your posts on FB when they are on my newsfeed! I made Botto's Chili on Saturday for the UK game, everyone loved it, even the picky people! I complimented Botto in class today! Delish! THEN today I made your Chicken Barley whatever salad!!! So fresh and citrus-y and delicious! Michael LOVED it and it was something totally different from the norm and healthy! The peaches were definitely our favorite part of the thing but the whole thing was wonderful :) Thanks! I will continue to keep stalking! Much love, Ashley Kasten
