White Bean Chicken Chili image

My sister shared this white bean chicken chili recipe with me. I usually double it and add one extra can of beans, then serve with cheddar biscuits or warmed tortillas. The jalapeno adds just enough heat to notice but not too much for my children. -Kristine Bowles, Albuquerque, New Mexico

I made this chili last night and it was delicious! I used ground turkey instead of chicken and it turned out great. I also added a can of black beans and a can of corn. It was the perfect meal for a cold night.
