Chicken and White Bean Chili

This is an easy make-ahead meal that can be semi-prepped, kept in the fridge (for a day or two) or froze for later use (and thawed out the day before) to  make a scrumptious meal! This is another fabulous recipe from the Super Supper cookbook on page 84! I’ve altered this recipe a tad to make it packed with more vegetables than what it’s called for!

• ▢ 1 can diced green chilies

• ▢ 1 tablespoon EVOO
• ▢ dollop of sour cream per bowl of chili and shredded cheese optional

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and cook chicken breast until internal temperature reaches 165. If you already have chicken available you do not need to complete this step.
• Wash and dice all vegetables needed for recipe.
• In a container (if your making for another day) or a sauce pot if you are making to consume right away. Place 1 tablespoon of EVOO in pan; add onion, garlic, celery, carrots, bell pepper and saute until tender.
• Then add the can of diced chiles, diced/shredded chicken, tomatoes, beans, chili powder, chicken base, cumin, frozen corn, and mix. Add one cup of water and stir again. Place lid on the pot and cook on medium heat until bubbling.

Notes

This is the perfect chili to make ahead and freeze. Then it will be ready to thaw and heat for any cold day you need a bowl of comfort.
