Could you add white beans to this to make it more of a “chili?” At what point would you add them?

Ya for sure! You could add them at the end, when you return the shredded chicken to simmer for the last 30 minutes. You might also want to add a little extra water or chicken stock to make it more soup like.

I made this for a work chili contest and got third out of about 25 entries. This is a good green chili for people who don't like it to be spicy. It is cilantro and lime forward, particularly with the cilantro. The char on the tomatillos and poblano really help with the flavor. It was good by itself, but I also feel it better serves as a topping. Whether that is a burrito, nachos, etc., mainly because once you blend the ingredients all you have for texture is the chicken.

Hey Charles - So glad this one worked out well for you! I do love this recipe as a meat vs. a chili, you're right. It's so good on a burrito bowl or on nachos!
