Creamy White Chicken Chili

Recipe Notes
In a large saucepan, sauté onion and garlic powder in oil. Add the chicken, beans, broth, chilies and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat: simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes.Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and heavy whipping cream.
*sometimes I add more chicken broth, sour cream and whipping cream to make it a little more soupy.
FREEZER GUIDELINES:
If you are freezing the chili, I would recommend doubling the batch and eat one now
and one later. Make sure when freezing to let cool and then place in high quality
freezer bags and label the meal.
To cook: pull out of freezer and place in fridge the night before. Sometimes I leave it on the counter for an hour or two and then put in the fridge or defrost slowly in the microwave. Cook on the stove top til hot – stir well. Do not boil or overcook.
This looks and sounds absolutely delicious Toni. I’m going to give it a try soon!
With your mad cooking skills I hope you like it. Yes, it is a family favorite!
