I had never made White Chicken Chili before, but it came out so good last week. Everyone liked it, and we’ll definitely be having it again. I used the recipe in  $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook for a guide. Here’s how I made my White chicken Chili.

Saturday – pizza night – Pizza and carrot sticks

Sunday – sandwich day – Dirty Rice

Monday – chicken – Baked Chicken, sweet potato fries, salad

Tuesday – beef – Fajitas, salad

Wednesday – super simple – left-overs, salad

Thursday – chicken – Chicken Spaghetti Alfredo, green beans

Friday – Friday Night Fire/Beef – Steak, Challah Bread, corn

I had never made White Chicken Chili before, but while looking through The  $5. Dinner Mom Cookbook, I saw her recipe that looked simple. I made a few changes, though. Since I wanted to use food from the freezer, and we don’t use the diced chili’s the recipe called for.  And, of course, I had to make a larger amount. lol  This is a very quick recipe to put together when using the broth, chicken and beans from the freezer. Here’s what I did:

White Chicken Chili


5 tablespoons butter
1 large onion
5 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth from the freezer
3 cups milk
3 cups cooked chicken from the freezer
4 cups Great Northern Beans from the freezer
Chili powder to taste
Salt & Pepper to taste

My Freezer stash of chicken, beans and broth.

Stir in chicken and beans. Season to taste. I used over a tablespoon of chili powder. Start with less, you can always add more. But once it’s too spicy there is nothing you can do about it.

I served this with cornbread my daughter made, and cooked broccoli.
