Warm and comforting Green Chili Chicken Stew.
Sure smells good in my house… A big pot of Green Chili Chicken Stew is simmering away!
So Fall in Colorado has more than a few things going for it. Besides amazing weather, Hatch Green Chili’s are in season and the Bronco’s football is too. Us Colorado folk are pretty much obsessed with the two. I bought 3 bushels of the chili’s that are in my freezer, which I am very happy about, especially when I can grab a bag and whip up a pot of Green Chili Chicken stew.
I am pretty much a green chili snob and have only made with pork, but the other day my friend Johnny K texted over a little “food porn”. He is chili obsessed too and sent over a picture of his version of Green chili chicken stew and gave me inspiration to whip up my version of this spicy goodness and just in time for the Bronco’s game this afternoon.
Life is good in Colorado today. Not a cloud in the sky, 70 degrees, Bronco’s playing and we get to eat chili!
