Meal in a Bag: White Chicken Chili 🍲
Everything in this bag is shelf-stable, easy to find, and costs under $8 based on Walmart prices.
What’s inside:
2 cans Great Northern Beans – add protein and fiber
1 can of corn – a touch of sweetness and color
1 can Green Enchilada Sauce – adds seasoning, spice, and depth of flavor
1 can Salsa Verde or Green Chilis – gives that tangy, zesty chili kick
1 can Cream of Chicken – makes it thick, rich, and comforting
1 large can Chunk Chicken – the protein that brings it all together
1 Bouillon Cube – just a little boost of flavor magic
Each kit also comes with a printable recipe card you can download to make your own!

I have to tell you, these meals in a bag are wonderful! We have been buying extras each week to make some of these. We took them to our local food pantry, and they were thrilled! I gave them your name and channel name to give you all the credit! Hopefully, some new subscribers, too. Thank you so much for the inspiration. It does my heart good, especially this time of the year. You're the best! ❤😊
My husband made this today – he doubled most of it, but added 4 cans of beans & 3 chicken, used green chilies instead of the salsa verde, and some low sodium taco seasoning & lower sodium cream of soup. It was delicious with cheese & tortilla chips on top. We have lots of leftovers for several meals. I made the corn chowder with a few tiny modifications and it was excellent!!
We’ll be trying all these recipes. I have chronic illnesses and these are so helpful to put together on low energy days.
Thank you!! ❤
I ❤ love your recipes! 🎉 I'm going, to get an email address from you and send a Christmas card from the "Garris's". We poor right now, I need some help starting a YouTube funding for my legally blind son. He will receive a seeing 🦮 eye dog. I'll send you more details in what I need help with in my letter
Thank you for making these and for the instruction video.
Looking forward to seeing the rest.
Love this!!!
These would be great for those Lil Pantry Boxes that people are putting up around their neighborhoods.
So you get a tax write off, plus a income frome YouTube.

Your meals really help for families to get through a hard time when things are so expensive. A home-cooked meal is better than eating out anytime. And they're so simple and so quick to make! Thank you!❤
I absolutely love your heart. It's so kind and caring. I totally love this idea. I came out with something close but your is better. ❤️I might make a few of these tomorrow for my birthday 😁
There's an old recipe called "cowboy stew" by Headless Mom (it's on ayearofslowcooking). It's canned goods + ground beef. It could easily be meat free or swapped for canned chicken. It's a frequent meal at our house and would make a good pantry meal.
its not entirely shelf stable as the cans have date codes
Love these so much! We recommended them for our current food drive and people are using them!
I made some of your meals in a bag for our office’s food pantry! I’ve also seen other YouTubers doing the same but not giving you credit, which they should. This is awesome.
This is wonderful.
Another great video
My school's food pantry had your meal in a bags this week! So thankful!
Put a QR code that links to the prep video, on the recipe card 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How many people will it feed please ?❓
Thanks
These tins can you make an actual dish out of it – I’m so curious to see what it looks like
As a truck driver I like to hide behind the “difficult to have lasting food” as an excuse to eat like a pig at fuel stations but these things popping up everywhere have been brilliant for my wallet and waist
Love you. I miss your long videos!!!
Do you have a playlist for your meal-in-a-bag?
again, this is lovely. I wonder if this can be made ahead and frozen.
My local shelter is having a food drive so I’ve been looking for some ideas to help.
I've seen a lot of your meal in a bag shorts and was about to comment that I think you should post videos showing how you cook it all up. I'm glad I watched til the end! Looking forward to the instructional videos!
I love all your meals in a bag!! I put some together which I donated and I recently cooked this one for myself and it was delicious!! I
I am REALLY tempted to pick up these ingredients for myself today, for an easy meal over the weekend! Another variation idea (for your home or to send home with guests after a holiday meal): substitute chopped leftover Thanksgiving turkey instead of the canned chicken for a "White Turkey Chili"! 🙂
The fact that Walmart made 680 billion dollars of profit last year and we are putting together meals in bags because most of our countryfolk can't afford food should give everyone on this thread pause.
We have a local group making up these meals in a bag. This has gone viral. Great job on your part.
Thats nice you do that for people that need food God bless you ❤
I don't eat meat, but there are plenty of ways to make substitutions. Thank you for these video ideas.
thank you
You're the best, such a blessing to us all!
❤️
You're wonderful, hun 💖
