White Chilli Chicken

Print this recipe

I love a robust chilli con carne during the warmer months, but when it’s hot outside, this less spicy version of the old classic is just as good.

Jax Says : This chicken combo is fantastic served with corn chips, topped with cheese, a lovely spring / summer salad.  As a filling for burritos or your bog standard family pie.
