White Chicken Chili

Carroll Shelby's makes my sisters all time favorite beef chili seasoning. She loves it. I have to admit it is pretty good. It is a thick chili you can eat scooped up on a tortilla chip. She was shopping the other day and came across Carroll Shelby's "New" White Chicken Chili Kit. Excited that this would be just as good as the beef chili kit she decided to buy one for me to try too. It is just starting to get chilly here in Michigan so it was the perfect time to try this chili kit. I have to say it did live up to the expectation I had for it. It was spicy, but not to spicy and quite thick for a chicken chili. My only complaint is that the seasoning is a little salty and there is no way to adjust that since the salt is in the seasoning pouch mixed with the other spices. Over all it is a good, easy, low calorie chicken chili that I will for sure cook again.
Ingredients
One box Carroll Shelby's White Chicken Chili Kit
2lbs. Boneless Skinless Chicken breasts (cut into 1/2" cubes)
1 tbsp. vegetable or olive oil
