White Bean Chicken Chili

For some reason I wasn’t able to imagine what all these chili ingredients would taste like together. Although I knew it would be tasty, I didn’t realize just how good it really would turn out. I actually wish I had made a double batch, but with how easy and quick it is to make it’s not a pain to make twice! And although it’s already hitting the high 70s and low 80s here in Memphis, TN I don’t think it could ever be too warm outside for this chili. It’s too delicious to say no.

What I may end up doing is making a double batch and freezing half of it. I love freezable meals!
