Ah! Okay, I'm going to reveal something about myself here that I never thought I would so bare with me.

I don't know if you've figured it out yet or not, but I'm sort of a closet nerd. I'm a chic geek to the core, and yet hide it well with what I'd like to think is a very 'normal' exterior. In actuality, I go to renaissance faires (in costume), I've been known to role-play, and yes... I'll even play video games (MMO's mostly). Okay, so really just one in particular, but there are others on my rap sheet as well.

If you're close to me, then you know what that game is. Or if you recognize the name of this chili, then you're probably at least just as guilty as I am. The truth of the matter is, I've been a player in World of Warcraft since it's original vanilla beta back when I was in college. Yep, that's how long this game has been around and in my life. True. Story.

Even if you don't personally play, I'm almost 100% sure that you know someone who does or has at some point in this game's existence. Especially with the movie.

Of course, my playing it has come and gone through the years given time what not. That being said, I was originally from a PVP server and I just have to throw it out there that this recipe is intended for the Horde only. Shove off Alliance. Nah, just kidding. I guess I'll let you try it.

In the one of the older expansions (Warlords of Draenor) there's a consumable item you can get from a Garrison Mission called Legion Chili. As you can see by it's icon, it's a green chili with what looks to be bird-like bones sticking up out of it. This is probably a good time to mention that there are no bones in this chili.

Back a couple of years ago, I decided that I had to make some real Legion Chili to welcome in the new Demon Hunter class. Basically this chili is a verde chicken chili; nothing too scary, right? Now that I think about it - this chili would be pretty awesome around Halloween time too. Breadstick bones and all!

To get that super ultra vibrant green color I used plenty of tomatillos and an entire bunch of cilantro. Literally, and entire bunch. I was a little nervous about that concept because cilantro is not always my favorite herb, but it actually worked out really well! Maybe because it was pureed into oblivion?
