Does chili freeze well?

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is such a great option for meal prep and make ahead dinners and lunches. The chili freezes really well, you just have to make sure that it is fully defrosted before reheating it. It will also last covered in the fridge for 3-4 days.  The beauty with chili is that the flavors really develop after a couple of days, so you will be able to serve up a super tasty dish with zero effort!

What should I serve white chili with?

All good chilis deserve a variety of toppings and side dishes!  My favorites are:

• sour cream
• fresh jalapeno slices
• lime wedges
• rice
• corn on the cob
• fresh cilantro
• avocado slices
