Mom’s White Chicken Chili recipe is my favorite. Other white chili recipes usually incorporate cilantro but this recipe calls for cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, and of course, garlic. I love it topped with monterrey jack cheese, a dollop of sour cream and a side of corn bread or saltines. It’s lighter than beef chili, but still hearty and great for a winter night. If you try this recipe, it’ll likely become a family favorite and a winter staple. Enjoy!
