Green Chicken Chili

I'm a home chef living in Orinda, California.

Green chicken chili is a flavorful and hearty soup or stew made with chicken and green chilies. It is a popular dish in Southwestern cuisine and is known for its vibrant green color and spicy flavor.

The chicken is essentially stewed in a delicious salsa verde with spices and a few other ingredients. It's very customizable, and you can add beans or skip them, to your preference.
