White Chicken Chili
This past summer I teamed up with Lagostina and shared an amazing Salmon Fettuccine Alfredo recipe. Today I’m collaborating with Lagostina once again to share another fabulous recipe and introduce you to their NEW Opera Collection. 
First and foremost, they’re gorgeous, right?!? These pans have a 3-layer LagoFusion base with stainless steel exteriors that are sure to add beauty to your kitchen. And this collection is not only beautiful, but it’s low maintenance too!
I love that they are oven and broiler safe (up to 500 degrees Farenheit), safe for all stovetops — aaaaaand dishwasher safe! Did I mention they’re made in Italy?
The 5 3/4-qt. stockpot (pictured below) was the perfect size for my White Chili. We could also call it the White Christmas Chili, named after my favorite holiday movie, White Christmas. Gosh, that movie just makes me smile! I love the cast, the singing, the dancing –EVERYTHING about it.
Whipping up this recipe and enjoying a bowl while enjoying your favorite holiday movie sounds like a great night in, right? Let’s get started making this delicious dish.
White Chicken Chili
Ingredients
- 4-5 pds boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 (4 oz) cans chopped mild green chiles, undrained
- 2 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp red cayenne pepper

Instructions
- Place chicken in a large pan and add cold water to cover. Bring to simmer.

Notes
I hope you enjoy this chili as much as we did… BTW, if you have a REALLY good eye, you might have noticed that a lot more than 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne pepper was put into this chili. GULP! I accidentally put a whole teaspoon. It had a lot more punch than I’m used to, but it was still delicious. I just added a little more sour cream to my bowl (wink).
Enjoy, friends! Be sure to check out the Opera Cookware Set too. It’s AMAZING! Lagostina makes some pretty stand out pans — durable and high-quality construction. And I don’t say that lightly, that is my honest opinion. Salute!
