Notes
- Chicken: for this dinner to come together in less than 30 minutes, grab a rotisserie chicken or have some pre-cooked, shredded chicken to add in.
- Jalapeño: If needed this ingredient can be omitted. If more heat is desired can substitute with a Serrano pepper.
- Beans: Great northern beans are a wonderful choice for this chili recipe. Use canned or presoak and cook dried beans if needed. Could substitute for Cannellini beans if needed.
