Chili is one of those meals I feel we all know and love, but to be honest, I was about sick of the bland, tomato based chili with saltines. I decided I needed to elevate chili once and for all. And believe me, I did.
This chili is packed with flavors from roasted poblanos, corn, cilantro, salsa verde, chicken and cream cheese. I promise, you haven’t tasted anything like it.
As winter comes to a close, we turn less and less to chilis and soups so use this time to get this recipe in your lineup for meals this week. You will not regret it.
