Tonight's dinner was something I've been intrigued about for awhile now, but never actually took the time to make it - white chili. It seemed interesting; however, I wasn't sure how well it would be received by my family. Since I'm always looking for something new to try and tonight just felt like a chili kind of evening, I decided to give white chili a chance. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy it. I was even more pleased when my daughter said she loved it because she's very picky. Saving this one for a future use.
Here's what you'll need.

5 3/4 cup chicken broth
1 large chicken breast, cooked and shredded
