So this Cheesy Chicken Chili is so filling and heart-warming. 

It's got some veggies (red bell pepper, onion, corn), some protein (chicken), and some deliciousness (almost a whole block of cheese!). I found this recipe on Pinterest probably about a year ago. 

I went to look for it again when I made this post so that I could give proper credit to the original blogger, but it seriously has disappeared. [So just FYI: this is not my recipe originally.] 

The original name of the recipe was cream cheese chicken chili. But, um, since there isn't a stitch of cream cheese in it, I renamed it Cheesy Chicken Chili. It's a little more fitting. 

This week the weather has been arctic and this chili will warm you inside and out!

So you cook this a little.... And then you dump in a whole block of cheese. 

Um, hello beautiful. 

Try this delicious soup and let me know what you think! 

Much Love,
