Wouldn't you love a bowl of this Checkerboard Chili? I'll save some for you!
Make sure you visit the Chili Cook Off and tell Miz Helen "hi" from me!
I am sharing this with:The Texas Star Chili Cook Off
Chicken Chili sounds good Kitty and I love the mixed beans! Wouldn't mind taking a big bowl of this for lunch today:@)
ReplyDeleteKitty, this chili does sound wonderful. I have tried many of your recipes and they were all so good. I might have time to squeeze in a pot of this chili when Joe's sisters visit us this weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteMmmm... I would love to make this sometime soon. I don't chili with chicken very often, but this looks amazing, my friend. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds on the same track!! We had white chicken chili last night...only it was Marie Callendars from a can. LOL Waaaay to spicy for us. Of course, I bought the BIG pack of 6 cans from Sam's Club. Duh? I'm taking it to a food pantry.
ReplyDeleteNext time I'll make your yummy sounding recipe instead. Thanks for sharing it, Kitty.
Your setting looks so inviting with the pretty candle in the background.
A wonderful chili. One of my favorite meals. It is always comforting and perfect for the fall. ~ Catherine
ReplyDeleteI vote for you. I think you should win. :)
ReplyDeleteI love chili, but it is so hot here it makes it difficult to think winter food just yet.
We love chili to the moon and back but I've never heard of CHICKEN chili...no sir, us Texans have to have BEEF....hahhaa...actually, your recipe sounds wonderful and must try it.

Your recipe sounds wonderful for these cool autumn nights, Kitty. I love the idea of using chicken and black beans, as these are so health conscious. I hope you win. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteCannellini, huh? I don't think I've ever had chili with cannellini, but heck...why not! Sounds good! With the chicken, I'm sure that pairs up nicely and the flavor is great! I just took ground turkey and ground beef out of the freezer to make chili for the weekend, but I think I'll try this instead. Something different. Of course, I'll be loading ours up with habaneros!!!! We're just self-destructive that way! :-)
ReplyDeleteStay warm!
Oh, Kitty, this looks absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteLove this recipe...a perfect recipe for a healthy, hearty, supper.
ReplyDeleteIt's just starting to feel like chili weather here Kitty! Love the mix of beans in your recipe :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty,
ReplyDeleteYour Checkerboard Chili looks wonderful, I love the combination of flavor and the best of luck to you in the Chili Cook Off! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome post with Full Plate Thursday and have a great weekend!
Hope to see you again real soon,
Miz Helen
It was such a nice surprise to hear from you, Kitty. Thank you for your visit.
ReplyDeleteI am pinning your chili recipe to try when it gets cooler again. We had a week or so of cooler weather and now it is hot again.
I think you have a great chance of winning the contest. Your recipe sounds great. I love the chicken and various beans. Can't wait to try it myself.
Mmm . . . perfect time of the year for chili. I love black beans in my chili, too. I've never tried beer in my chili, but we have a chili cook-off every fall in our town, and a few years ago the best-tasting one had Jack Daniels in it, so maybe there's something to that! I love the candle in your first picture, and that looks like a bowl of candy corn and peanuts, too. Yummy :)
ReplyDeleteKitty, this sounds delicious! I have never had chicken in a red chili, only in a white chili. I bet it is so yummy! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Kitty, this would be perfect with the weather changing. I love chili, red or white adding chicken is different. Real comfort food. Your fall decor is lovely. I hope you have a fabulous weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteI would give anything for a bowl of this delicious looking chili right now Kitty! It's cold, gray and drizzly here in Carolina and this would be perfect. I can almost smell the amazing aroma!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, good! Will have to try it.
