Tomatillo, Chicken and White Bean Chili Recipe

Tomatillo, Chicken and White Bean Chili Recipe
This recipe is a take on chili, using a big bag of tomatillos as inspiration. The chicken and beans make it light and fresh, and the roasted poblano gives it a nice smokey sweetness. If you can’t find poblano’s, try and substitute dried ancho chiles. (Poblano’s when dried are called ancho chiles.)

This is a fairly thin chili, next time I might use ground turkey or chicken, or blend up some of the tomatillos after it has cooked to make it thicker. It still came out delicious, and is a nice compromise for a September that hasn’t quite turned to Fall yet.

I have lots of tomatillos left in my garden, so this sounds like a winner!

Tomatillos add so much flavour to chilis and salsas!
