Now, moving on to our Ruby Tuesday white chicken chili. Let’s talk about chicken chili recipes and what sets them apart from their bean heavy cousins…it’s the beans. There are beans in white chicken chili but for the most part, we’re focusing on chicken and vegetables in this version of white chili.

I like that the recipe uses chicken. You might not be crazy about chicken in chili, all I can say is give it a chance. It’s not like eating a chicken breast, the chicken soaks up all the amazing flavors of the seasonings and vegetables. It’s awesome and there’s no hard work involved, you get to put an easy meal on the table that everyone will love, without slaving away in the kitchen all evening.

Ruby Tuesday Copycat White Chicken Chili Recipe Step 4

The first thing we need to do is simmer the beans, half the onions, and half of the garlic for about 2 hours in the chicken stock or until the beans begin to soften. Make sure to stir it often to keep everything from burning or sticking!

After the beans are done we can add the chicken and the salsa. While that is cooking wash, seed, and dice your jalapeños. Saute the peppers, spices, and the remaining onions and garlic in the oil in a small frying pan. Once the onions are soft and translucent you will add the mixture to the pot with the chicken and beans.
