Calhoun’s White Chili, I love eating at Calhoun’s when I’m in Tennessee! I was thrilled to find this recipe on their website! The quote that was listed with the recipe was “White Chili is the Signature Soup at Calhouns and has been on the menu for almost 20 years.”, I have made this chili for about 25+ years. I originally got the recipe when it was printed in the Knoxville News Sentinel. I have misplaced my copy, googled the recipe and found it on this forum. I boil my chicken first to keep it moist and to make a broth. I then shred it with my Kitchen Aid Mixer while it’s still hot. This makes it the perfect consistency. This and the Calhoun’s Spinach Maria recipes are my go to recipes. Of course since I never buy either at the restaurant any longer as they just don’t measure up to the at-home versions. I hope everyone who tried this enjoys it as much as my family and I do., Like some others, I boiled and deboned a chicken…not sure why you would to it any other way. There may be a minor difference in flavor if you bake the chicken as called for, but I doubt it…and never pass up the chance for almost a gallon of great broth. At any rate, I made this pretty much exactly according to the recipe and it was quite good. I did use a whole 4 oz. can of the chopped green chilies which is about double. It could have used a bit more heat for my tastes, but the folks at work devoured it.
