Smoked White Chicken Chili

[@terryhamilton985]

Again, another great looking recipe. Big fan here. Have about 5-6 of you seasonings. Already ran out of the voodoo, my favorite. Great job once again Matt. Keep it up.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thank you Terry!!

@@MeatChurchBBQ got to try a stick of smoked cream cheese in it next time. So good.

​@@Bryan-um3nx Did this, turned out GREAT! Thanks for the idea!

Used this recipe for amateur chili cook-off my apartment complex did and won first place! Keep up the great videos.

[@PokerProTX]

I was just talking to my wife about White Chicken Chili yesterday on 2/2/22( Snowmageddon 2022). Thank you Matt for sharing this and all of your videos. Huge fan from just up the road in DeSoto. We definitely need to have you on our podcast. It involves bourbon. God Bless you and Meat Church!

[@jasonmurray7604]

As far as the beans vs no beans argument. I go by a simple mantra. If it goes on something (hot dogs, fries, nachos, etc...) then no beans. If you are eating it in a bowl by itself, maybe with some cheese on top and some corn bread to the side, then it needs beans. There is a place for both types of chili. BTW ... here in Tennessee, the 2nd kind isn't called just "Chili". We call them Chili Beans.

[@pdizzleforizzle34]

Tried this recipe this weekend. Wasn't a white chili person before, not super popular up here in Nebraska. Now this will be a go to recipe in the future. It was delicious! I topped mine with Fritos and sour cream. Highly recommend. Thanks for the recipe!

[@tkeubank]

I use a similar recipe with the addition of a can of fire roasted corn included. Also at the end of the cook, I take a package of slightly warmed cream cheese and whisk it up with some of the liquid from the chili. Incorporate it back into the pot and it adds a great creamy texture and richness to the flavor. Absolutely one of my favorite winter recipes.

[@thewhiskeycartel8]

I think cream cheese in white chicken chili is a must.

[@michaelcrippin736]

I tried this recipe a couple weeks ago but I smoked chicken breast with hickory. Then smoked the soup for about 4.5 hours the only thing I did different was at about 3 hrs I put the chili on a burner and brought it to a boil for about 20 minutes to get the onions cooked better. Maybe I didn’t have my smoker hot enough. The flavor of this chili with that hickory smoke was money. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@jeremyvoss3724]

Made it three times this winter! First time as directed and it was incredible! Second time, smoked the ingredients in the Dutch oven under/while smoking chicken (ott style.) Extra smoke! And today, I brined the bird, smoked OTT style, AND added 4 oz of cream cheese with Monty Jack. Super rich and thick! Best yet, but honestly cannot go wrong with the OG shown here. Thanks, it's been a family favorite

[@CaptCraig]

You rock Matty P! My wife grabbed me many of your seasonings for my birthday and dude I am loving them!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thank you!!!

[@bradcampbell624]

The recipe I've been looking for! I usually put a jar of Salsa Verde in, but I'll gladly replace that with Rotel and the other spices. And also serve it with some lime flavored tostada chips. Thanks!

[@awanaismylife]

I make this often, but to add some variety of color and flavor, I use 2 cans of Great Northern beans, and 1 can of black beans, and I also add a bag/can of corn! I also sautee my onions in the dutch oven before adding everything else into it.

[@np6715]

Lockhart, and (Austin), TX, are two of my favorite places to visit. I talked my wife into going to Austin (then Lockhart) on our 11th anniversary in 2019. It was fabulous. Hope that we can check out your place in 2022 at some point. Thanks for making this video, and it looks amazing!

[@justinsimon6713]

Made this chilli yesterday. Simple and amazing. Getting the broth ratio correct was a key component. Thanks as always Matt.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

@@justinsimon6713 Fantastic! Thanks for the feedback Justin!!

[@johncran52549]

Made this this weekend true to recipe. Smoked the chicken last nite and put the chili in the smoker around 2 this afternoon for 4 hours. Because I had all that chicken I made a double batch!! The only thing I would do different is add the broth dead last so you can get the thickness the way you like it. OMG what a great meal!! Will be doing this one again!! Thanks Matt!! Keep 'em coming!!

[@greg6point771]

Just did this recipe Matt! Tell your mother in law it was amazing ! Thank you 🙏

[@docdripscards]

I have made tons of your recipes, and this was honestly an unexpected favorite! My wife was skeptical through the whole cook, but she loved it too! Used hickory to smoke the chicken on the kettle with the Gospel 🤌. Your mother in law deserves some props!

[@schneidermanschneider8969]

I made this chili exactly like the recipe except I did it in the oven. The only reason was it was pouring down rain and I was afraid to run my Traeger. Anyway, it was delicious! My kids devoured it...even my daughter who claims to not like soup or chili had a second bowl. You all need to make this!!!

[@Music963]

What temperature and how long did you cook in the oven, please?

[@schneidermanschneider8969]

@@Music963 I did 225

Have a similar family recipe but trying today with the smoked chicken instead of a rotisserie. Also about 1 1/2 cups of sweet corn from the in-laws farm. Looks great!

[@richardparker3703]

Made this today it was awesome, didn’t have your chili seasoning but I made do, I’ll be ordering me some or making the drive very soon!

[@williamjohnson6152]

I've been watching for a few years now. And I love almost everything I look up. You have a video for. Just tried this the other day, and it was great( chicken white chili). And had to come watch you cook it. Lol. Keep up the good work my man.

[@f0rmaggi0]

Made this for the super bowl tonight. Everyone raved about it. Only difference is I smoked my chicken with Traeger chicken rub( I’ll get to Meat Church Rub when I run out). I also added a little extra hatch green Chile I had in the freezer just to use it up. I thought I was going to have to adjust the seasoning but it was perfect on first taste. Mother in law respects me again. Thanks for this.

[@or9481]

That looks delicious and timely. Perfect for this time of year.

[@defiantwarrior76]

the history lesson on chili alone was worth the watch! Thank you.

I'm a chili kind of guy and man that looks good. Picked up a couple of your seasonings at a local store and really liking them right now. Thanks for sharing

[@1990westfalia]

Matt, Congratulations, you’ve made the water cooler conversation. Several of us are want-to-be smokers and were a fan of your channel. The White Chicken video has been passed around. Nicely done. I have a recipe as well, and a suggestion might be to add as a garnish, smoked cold crumbled bacon bits, diced raw onions and salsa verde on top, along with the cheese. They all lend to the taste, savory, crunch and brightness of the mellow chili. By the way, since you’re a hockey fan, the Wild are playing excellent this year. All our best from the Wintery State of Minnesota! Skillet

[@ForsakenPatriots]

Chili has beans. Growing up poor, it was heavy on the beans as a filler. Like a casserole having peas. I love both, and go meat heavy on my chili, however, as homage to my earlier childhood, add the beans, it lasts longer and beans are the musical fruit!

[@ForsakenPatriots]

I liked my own comment...eat some beans

[@valeriegarrity5773]

Funny how growing up poor enriched all our lives. Everything we ate as children, thinking it was sub-par is now considered fine dining and supremely health building. I read where the early New England settlers fed the poor servants lobsters, as it was considered food for the poor.
