I made this chili and everyone loved it. Quick and simple, this is perfect for any night of the week. This White Bean Chicken Chili is one of my new favorites. It is a nice change for everyone from the chili con carne we cook all the time. It has a pleasantly refreshing flavor. You can use leftover chicken or just poach a few chicken breasts and toss them in.

Recipe Notes
The amount of heat you add to the chili is based on your personal tastes. The amount in this recipe I would say makes a mild chili. There is an abundance of flavors, but the spiciness is minimal. Add more or less depending on how spicy you like your chili.
