White Chili Recipe

Although some zealots in South Texas may argue that this isn't truly a recipe for chili because of the chicken and the beans, we find that elsewhere the response is that this white chili recipe tastes wonderful (and is easy to make as a bonus).

How Long Will Chili Last?
Have you found yourself with chili leftovers? No need to worry! We've got the answer here as to how to properly store those leftovers, as well as how long you can expect them to last.
Store any leftover white chili in a sealed, airtight container. We recommend a hard, plastic Rubbermaid-type container. These seal very effectively. We don't recommend using a Ziploc bag or similar, as they don't always seal as tightly as they should. In addition, they can break open rather easily- you don't want an absolute mess in your fridge!
Once stored, chili leftovers can keep for 3-4 days. When you're ready to use your leftovers, simply check them for signs of spoilage before reheating. The most obvious signs of spoilage are going to be an off odor or the presence of mold. Additional signs can include a bad taste, abnormal coloration, and unusual texture. If you notice any of these, play it safe and discard it. Even if only part of the chili is affected, it's better to be safe rather than sorry.
If everything looks and smells okay, then you're good to go! Reheat your white chili and enjoy. As a quick, final note: some websites claim that you can keep chili in the fridge for up to a week, but we encourage you to try to finish it within four days. Anything beyond that is pushing it.
