We had an extremely hot and humid summer here in Charleston, SC this year (as did much of the country). So after Tropical Storm Lee blew through the area we were left with nicer temps and less humidity. After avoiding the stove/oven for months on end, we’re putting it to good use while we can. Time for this (quick) Green Chicken Chili. It will quickly become a favorite. One night we have baked chicken (and bake extra) and then in the next day or so we make the Green Chicken Chili. Tasty!

Once you have all of your ingredients out and prepped this recipe comes together very quickly. It doesn’t simmer for hours, but the taste – – out of this world! Especially with the crunchy toppings which may seem unusual, but give them a try, I almost didn’t but am so glad I did! The original link to this recipe doesn’t appear? This is my “sticky note version” – you can print my version of the recipe HERE.

If this post looks familiar, I posted a while back, but wanted to bring it back to your attention due to some cooler weather that makes this recipe absolutely perfect!
