Dinner for my family of five

Todays dinner was a white chicken chili.

I WFH and was able to start this on my lunch break but it’s easy enough to make in an instant pot!

I typically add Monterey Jack cheese and pepper jack cheese but didn’t have any on hand 🤷🏼‍♀️ let me know what you would change if you made it!#whats for dinner #dinnerathome #cookingideas

... Read moreWhite chicken chili is a comforting dish that can be enjoyed by the whole family. This recipe is not only delicious but also simple to prepare, especially when using an Instant Pot, which cuts down cooking time. You can experiment with ingredients like Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese for added flavor. Consider adding beans or corn for extra texture, and adjust the spice level by incorporating jalapeños or other peppers. Don't forget that chili can be a versatile recipe; feel free to garnish it with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or avocado slices for a refreshing touch. White chicken chili pairs well with crusty bread or a fresh salad, making it a complete meal. Transform your family dinners with this hearty dish, and let us know how you put your twist on it!
