Let’s switch gears today and cook a hearty meal. It’s getting really cold outside and the perfect way to warm up is chili! This is a great twist on traditional chili and the Great Northern beans add a great creaminess to this dish. But before we get started, have you entered this week’s giveaway yet?

Alright, onto the chili! Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add in the celery, onion, bell pepper and jalapenos and saute until they begin to soften. This should take about 4 minutes. Add in the garlic, chili powder and cumin and saute for an additional minute. Add the broth, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are crisp but tender.
Add in the beans, chicken and half & half. I used a rotisserie chicken to speed things up and it adds an extra layer of flavor. Bring the chili to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and then divide amongst the bowls and serve with a side of crackers.
Love the addition of chicken in this! Looks awesome!
Looks great and spicy!
Looks very appetizing, i love it.
Brrr it’s getting cold here in Massachusetts too! I love chili but I am trying to cut down on red meat, so this will be perfect! I can’t wait to pick up the white beans and try it!
