Rotisserie Chicken White Chili with Garnishes Served on a Tray

It’s fall and. that means cooler days and slight changes to our menus. Roasted pork and roasted fall vegetables are delicious. Though we have soups and stews all year long ,there is just something about cooler weather that makes it taste so much better!

Changes for health reasons

In my mind , chili is red! White chili didn’t have any appeal to me. But something changed.

My husband has health issues that meant major chnages in his diet, Foremost, he could no longer eat beef, pork or shell fish. For awhile, no dairy. It makes it tricky for making dinner.

Making a new kind of chili

Rotisserie Chicken White Chili with Garnishes

Because he asked I searched for a recipe I thought we would enjoy snd eould be easy to make. I found this one for inspiration. I did not make it in my crock pot! But I did like that I could adapt it to our taste and it would be easy to prepare.

Many have lots of spices, ingredients and steps. When I make red beef chili, it is one of the simplest dishes I make. I wanted the same for this white chicken chili.

This one is uses canned beans, another easy ingredient.

Using rotisserie chicken was genius! These days with only 2 or 3 or 4 of us, mostly just the 2 of us, quick and easy is my preference. Jim and I are rretired. The girls often are home for supper which we like!

I am on the hunt for short cut dishes. Rotessiere chicken was just the ticket. Our local gorcery store’s is really good. Since it is precooked I just hand shred it and add to the pot.
