  1. I absolutely love your kitchen! The Wolf range and fridge, the industrial stainless topped island, the sink with the drain counter. It screams chef.

  2. I used this recipe and your technique as the basis for a batch of white chicken chili that I made for a party. People really liked the flavor. I had leftover turkey bones from Thanksgiving that I used for the broth. I also added a little white wine to deglaze and I threw in some salsa verde toward the end but I pretty much stuck with the ingredients that you used and the technique. Thank you for sharing your love of food and your culinary skills online!

  3. This is really good! I made 3x the recipe and I used three costco chickens, I know I cheated, but I did use white and northern organic beans soaked overnight. I then put it all together like you said and minus the cream or butter, I canned it up. I have 10 quarts of chicken chili in the pantry now. Definitely a labor of love but so worth it. Thanks chef Billy.

  4. Chef Parisi, when you save those onion peels and rough bits, do you scrub them well before saving for stock? Most of the bagged onions I buy have black powdery looking areas. Your discards look fresh. I've never seen onion peels that look healthy. I cut all that stuff off with the skin and rinse the onion

  5. There isn't a simple answer to where white chicken chili originated. However, here's some information about its origins:

    French origins: The first prototype of white chicken chili came from a chef in Los Angeles.

    Inspired by Lewis & Clark's restaurant: The recipe for white chicken chili may have been inspired by Lewis & Clark's restaurant in St. Charles, Missouri.

    Invented in the West: White chicken chili was invented in the West, not the south.

    A popular Southwestern dish: White chicken chili is a popular Southwestern dish because it relies on beans and chilies, which are typical Southwest ingredients.

    First white chili surfaced in the late 1980s: The first white chili surfaced out West in the late 1980s.

    Some say that chili has roots in the American West, particularly the State of Texas. An old legend holds that immigrants from the Canary Islands brought a recipe for chili with them when they settled San Antonio in the early 1700s.
