Preparation

Cooking

  • Stir in the shredded chicken, green chilies, white kidney beans, chicken broth, cumin, and chili powder. Bring everything to a simmer and let the flavors meld together.
  • If the chili seems thick, feel free to add a little more broth.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.

This chili freezes beautifully and is a great option for meal prep. For a lower carb option, consider using cauliflower rice instead of beans. If you like heat, add hot sauce to taste.
