Ingredients
- Chicken Broth: Any brand of chicken broth will work just the same.
- Salsa: In this recipe, I use Pace medium salsa, any level of spice will work the same, just depends on your spice tolerance.
- Cheese: Any form of sharp cheddar or colby will work. ex: cheddar, colby jack, etc.
- Chicken: The amount of chicken in this recipe is subject to the cook. I shred anywhere from 2-3 breasts depending on how many people and how much protein I want within the soup/chili.
- Beans: I usually use Bush's great northern beans, I tried this recipe with Meijer great northern beans to be on the cheaper side. I learned one thing, don't cheap out on the beans! Make sure to get Bush's at all costs!
Pro-Tips
- Use two forks to shred the chicken to you wanted size, this recipe will allow whatever sized shredded or not shredded chicken you'd like!
- Shred your own cheese! By shredding your own cheese you can avoid consuming all the plastic and preservatives in pre-shredded cheese.
- If cooking and shredding your own chicken breasts, I recommend oven-roasting at 450 degrees for roughly 15-18 minutes or until the chicken is 165 degrees internally. This will add 15-18 minutes to the cook time.
- When adding everything to the pot, I like to start with the beans, salsa, and chicken broth to create a layer for the cheese and chicken to sit on, it prevents the cheese and chicken from sticking to the bottom while simmering.
Storage
In the fridge: Store in a glass container and it stays good for about a week.
In the freezer: Using a freezer bag, freeze flat for easier storage within the freezer. The chili will stay fresh for roughly 9 months.
