Utah weather is still in it’s hormonal can’t decide what season it is stage of the year. We got a hint of springlike weather and then we are right  back to icy wind and snow. I don’t know about you, but when it is freezing outside I just want to eat nice warm comfort food. Which brings me to today’s recipe. This White Chicken Chili is one our favorites in the cold weather! Not only is it super delicious, but you can throw it together so fast AND it makes the best leftovers!

– INSTRUCTIONS – 

TIME SAVER:

Get a rotisserie chicken from the store. Pull out all the good chicken and throw everything into a pot. Simmer all ingredients for 20 to 30 minutes and you’re done!!

Using an Instant Pot: 

Cook chicken breasts until done. Once it is done, shred the chicken, and dump remaining ingredients on top of chicken and change setting to slow cook for 30 minutes. Leave on warm until you are ready. Top with whatever toppings you like and enjoy!

Using a Crock Pot:

Put chicken in the bottom of your crock pot and top with remaining ingredients except for the cream cheese. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Remove chicken, shred, and add back to crockpot. Stir in room temp cream cheese. Once it is melted serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
