Save 30% on Picture Plates By Hallmark

White Chicken Chili
Here is a REALLY good recipe for white chicken chili that my sister and mom make a lot. It’s got a lot of flavor and the cheese in it makes it spicy. I forgot to garnish it for the picture, but you can garnish this with cheese, sour cream and jalapenos and serve it with […]
