    This is the actual recipe for the Cheesecake Factory's white chicken chili, which is just so delicious. This comes from a Cheesecake Factory chef who was on a local morning program in Orlando, FL making this recipe for the viewers. You can see the actual video if you Google "Cheesecake Factory White Chicken Chili Recipe Orlando" and click on the link for the Fox affiliate in Orlando. This is a perfect recipe for a cold day. It is a bit spicy, so, if you prefer a milder version, back off on the Chilis.

          I cut the oil & butter in half; also replaced the cup of heavy cream with 1/2 cup of Land o Lakes fat free half & half; added many more veggies-finely chopped carrots, orange or red bell pepper, cabbage, & celery. I used Daisy light sour cream & organic brown rice. OMG!!! Amazing!!! Flavor is exactly the same as Cheesecake Factory chili, but this has less fat, fewer calories, lower glycemic index without the white rice, & more fiber & nutrition from the added veggies. I give this 5 stars/hearts

            There is something seriously wrong with the ingredient list. I would say 4 cups of chicken broth would do the trick. Adding 8 has turned this into soup!
