Green Chicken Chili is a nice smokey, lightly spicy chili that will not only warm your tongue but will warm your belly. This recipe has a small amount of fresh jalapeno, green chilies, and smoked paprika. Indeed, these incredible flavors meld well together. Moreover, the beans give a creamy texture to this chili. 
In all honesty, I am a wimp when it comes to spice, however, I do like a little heat. I enjoy the slight tingle on my tongue. One of the best things about this chili is it’s perfect for the family on the go. Indeed, this recipe can be made on the stove or follow the directions below and add to your slow cooker allowing this soup to cook all day while allowing the flavors to bring greater depth to the flavor. If made on the stove top this soup will still have incredible flavor.
What a wonderful world we live in to be able to experience an enormously wide array of flavors and tastes. I undoubtedly am very grateful that there are a number of different ways to put together similar items and create a totally different flavor profile. Such a wonderful time to be alive as nowadays anyone can get almost any kind of cuisine from anywhere in the world. Hence, there is also fusion foods that years ago would not have existed.
In fact, when I was a kid the only kind of choices in cuisine that I recall were Italian and Chinese. However, today I can have Greek, Japanese, Thai, Korean, Honduran etc.
Notes:
I guess you could say I am a foodie. I adore foods from all over the world and enjoy using the spices and herbs from other countries to create a unique and interesting flavor profile. Finally, Green Chicken Chili goes extremely well with Biscuits.
I used Lano Life powdered chicken broth in this recipe. As always I highly suggest you research this ingredient yourself to see if this is something you want to add to your pantry.
