Preparation

Step 1

Melt the bacon drippings or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chicken, stirring, until the chicken begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the broth, green chilies and potato to the pot. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes can be pierced with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes. Taste the chili and add salt to taste. Top with blue cheese before serving.
