Did you come to a youtube video to learn how to make the best white chicken chili in the world?
Well then stay tuned.
Hey everybody it’s Javier Mercedes
For another Merce Meal Monday, Or Maybe it’s Wednesday?
Is it an interview? Is it a meal? Is it this? Is it that?
Is it baseball bat? Am I in the back? Am I in the front?
Is it salsa eyes?
Is it a mat?
Cool Beans
Let’s get it.
What are we doing today Emily?
We’re making my grandmas white chili and drinking champagne
What, why would we be drinking champagne?
Because my most recent art print is a champagne bottle series
This art print is super rad because you can get it all in one print or
Get individual bottles if you have a very favorite if you are celebrating something
Or if you have I don’t know a hankering to drink champagne and look at champagne art
This ones for you
That’s the one that looks the coolest and it’s in all the rap videos
Give us the backstory behind the white chicken chili
My parents actually gave me this book and it was put together by
a bunch of cute little old ladies in Murray Kentucky
And I landed on this white chili with a kick and completely found out later
That it was actually my grandmother’s recipe
Woah woah woah, I thought this was just like a thing but no
It literally says the name right by the recipe
Yeah, Clara Resig, I didn’t know till after the fact that it was my grandmothers recipe
Let’s get to it
Step 1 prep the chicken
Chicken Breast, Cilantro, garlic, and entire thing of Salsa
Are you going to cut it into even smaller chunks after it’s done cooking?
Yup, more like bite size pieces before put into the pot with the rest of the chili
But that is after it cooks in the oven - yup
Just kind of stab the chicken
Oh so atlas the chicken is cooking with the salsa
Yeah, and then you add another one to the batch of chili too
Cilantro
Bake it until it’s cooked
The recipe calls for six cups but I usually do one large Swanson chicken broth
And then a medium sized one
This will be just to get the flavors melding together for a little while.
Medium heat is cool.
Toward the end I add all the dairy stuff
And that, to be honest, will give you some gas
So we are going to add another giant can of salsa
You can choose whatever you want
If you like it a little milder, do not choose hot.
I am going to put the beans in there too.
With all of the stuff that the beans have been sitting in
Like the watery beany goodness
So two cans of whatever beans
So this is two large yellow onions
And one Serrano pepper
I’m going to leave a little bit off because some of the seeds are in there which
Obviously makes it hotter
After a few minutes we’ll add the garlic for another minute or two.
And then plop it into the pot.
Adding in the garlic - add in the garlic
And actually - oh that’s perfect.
It’s defiantly not going to be ready yet but let’s see what we are working with
Ok, it’s going to be a little while longer
I like to get a giant block of Monterey Jack cheese
I add the cheese in and the sour cream toward the end
and that’s what pretty much makes the white chili white
It’s kind of pinkish to be honest because there is salsa in there
And then we’ll get sour cream in there
Look how it just gets thick.
Thick with amazingness
Ok so I’m just going to get the garnish ready
Shredded cheese some sour cream, little bit of onion, and cilantro
So I really loved your taco video the other day that you did
Because I feel like - so normal
I see that you like bourbon? I do
Well so do I.
Bam - is it upside down?
So what’s going on in this piece Emily? Can you tell us?
15 bottles of bourbon
Brian can you tell us what’s going on?
Great bottles of bourbon, we’ve got bookers
We’ve got buffalo trace
We’ve got Woodford
We’ve got blanton’s
You can get them in the collection
Or you can get individual bottles

How does it taste?
Ooo really good, there’s a good amount of heat
Which is what I was hoping for
We are going to add the chicken into the rest of the chili
And let it simmer for awhile
Is it harder than what it will be when you eat it in the actual chili
Yeah, ideally it would have been more fall-y apart-y
Because I am just going to make up words now
It would have fallen apart a little bit easier if we had cooked it lower for longer
Not on this Youtube Game,
No we like to do fast motion chili
That’s a nice pot of chili
I’m just going to go right in
Garlic bread, garlic bread
Alright it is 9:26 it looks like it’s starting to boil just a little bit
Emily is there anything that you like to do while it’s finishing up
Funny you ask, I like to paint when I’m finishing up my chili
But seriously spoiler alert, I’m working on another whiskey series
Shhhh tell everybody
All your friends should buy it!
So our garlic bread has been garlic-ted
How is it looking?
Pretty good
It has all come down to this moment of eating this amazingness
So what I like to do with this chili is
I just like to go balls to the wall and I just take that garlic bread and I just
put it straight on the bottom of the bowl
I bread as a condiment
Drizzle, drizzle
Whatever a version of drizzle is but a little bit more.
Sour cream, queso
The moment of truth
Woah, that’s really close but maybe not that close.
This white chicken chili is so good.
So I suggest that you should do it on your own time.
Because like literally it’s so good. So good.
