Chicken and bean chili in salsa verde sauce topped with crispy corn chips and plenty of melted cheese!
White chicken chili with its chicken, beans, sour cream, and green chilies, is one of my favourites and it only gets better when you top it with crispy corn chips and melted cheese! This is a pretty simple recipe for a chicken chili that’s topped with the corn chips and cheese before letting the cheese melt. This recipe is easy to make, takes about 30 minutes and it’s all done in one-pan!
