Little Guy's White Bean Chicken Chili


Note: Little Guy has become quite the cook in our house. I can literally go days without touching the stove because he wants to cook. He recently took a class at the Viking Cooking School. When our church announced that they would be having a chili contest as part of our Fall Fest I knew that it would a perfect fit for him. He has always wanted to enter a contest.

We were so excited when he won the TOP OVERALL trophy for the entire competition! So excited for him.

    You certainly have a budding chef on your hands. Or, rather, in your kitchen! I think it is wonderful that you are encouraging him to do what he really seems to be enjoying. He is obviously proud of that trophy - as he should be. Mister Linky is up for Crock Pot Wednesday if he would like to link up his chili recipe there:)

    That is so great that he won. Looks like you have a future top chef in the making. I know hes a little young now but my nephew took a home education class in high school and loved it as he was the only guy and made better cupcakes than the girls. LOL

    Oh, congradulations to your little Guy and his astonishing accomplishment. Do you think we have a new Foodnetwork star on our hands? The chili sounds not only great but with chicken, a little more healthy. Thanks for the recipe.
