Bonafide White Chicken Chili Recipe
We held a friendly Chili contest at our new headquarters last week. I agreed to turn the 1st place recipe into a video… so this is Chell’s Bonafide White Chicken Chili.
You can use any chicken for this recipe. You can boil a chicken, roast a chicken or even use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
I used a smoked chicken. I took a whole chicken, seasoned it with 1 Tablespoon Malcom’s Bonafide Chili Seasoning and smoked it on my Traeger pellet grill until it hit 165 degrees in breast. I let it cool completely, before shredding the chicken.
