Spicy Buffalo Chicken Chili

A perfect coming in from the cold recipe, this Spicy White Chicken Chili is an instant warmup. Whether enjoying a cozy picnic lunch after the morning ski runs or a simple dinner on a snowy winter’s day, a bowl of this hearty chili is sure to warm you up from the inside out.    

This uncomplicated recipe can be prepared on the stovetop or in advance in a crock pot. The broth is laced with buffalo sauce and salsa verde becomes comfortingly creamy with the addition of cream cheese and cheddar. Herb-seasoned shredded chicken is nestled in the broth. We simplified the recipe even more by using  a store-bought roasted chicken. Serve up steaming hot with additional shredded cheddar, avocado and crunchy tortilla chips.
