Easy White Bean Chicken Chili Recipe
Brr, its cold out there! This arctic blast has me bundling up and (gasp) turning up the heat! (I may at one point have second guessed my shearling boot purchase, but not today!) I am so glad I have all the ingredients needed for this quick and easy White Bean Chicken Chili recipe for tonight…
To have it ready in 20 minutes, I use precooked chicken, but you could easily brown bite sized pieces of chicken breasts in just a few extra minutes. (Are you looking for more quick and easy recipes? Click here, I have an entire category dedicated to quick and easy recipes!)
The flavors of the chicken, white beans, corn, chilies, spices and tortillas blend together and taste like the chili simmered for hours! My family loved this dish, so be sure to give it a try!
