Williams-Sonoma White Chili Starter
I made White Chicken Chili using Williams-Sonoma starter last Saturday when it was cold and rainy here in LA. I used the recipe straight off the bottle. I found that it was a simple recipe and very easy to make. Cook time was about 40 min.
The flavor of the starter has a very nice combination of spices and made for a tasty chili. It is not hot with spicy heat, and I detected the lime juice to be a prominent flavor. Not overpowering but definitely prominent. My boyfriend and I both ate this for dinner and liked the flavor. The one shortfall is the servings per bottle. This bottle makes about 4 servings. If you eat a good portion then most likely it will only be enough for 2 people. MGG ate 2 bowls full, and they were not more than 1 1/2 cups each serving, I ate only 1 bowl. There was just enough for lunch the following day for 1 person.
The cost is $14.50 at any Williams-Sonoma store or you can order online. Click here for a link to the product. White Chili Starter
It's definitely a good item and worth trying. My only reservation would again be the cost per bottle/serving.
If you try this item or have in the past, let me know what you think!
Here's the recipe:
Easy White Chili
Whip up a pot of this Southwestern-style chili with ease by using our time-saving starter. You can prepare the chili with cubed chicken breast or ground chicken or turkey.
Ingredients:
- 1 to 1 1/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, or ground chicken or turkey
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbs. vegetable oil
- 1 jar white chili starter
Tortilla chips, chopped fresh cilantro and sour cream for serving
Directions:
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Stovetop method: In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Working in 2 batches, brown the chicken, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Return all the chicken to the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the white chili starter, stirring to scrape up the browned bits. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Slow-cooker method: In a fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Working in 2 batches, brown the chicken, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer the chicken to a slow cooker and add the chili starter. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Ladle the chili into warmed bowls and serve immediately with tortilla chips, cilantro and sour cream. Serves 6.
