What Is White Chili Chicken?

In terms of vegetables, many of them are the same as what you’d put into traditional chili. However, the difference comes in the type of meat you use – chicken instead of beef. And also the beans that you use – white beans instead of red. It’s also unusual to use tomatoes in white chili, and you’ll usually use chicken stock too. It makes for a heartwarming dish, that isn’t as common as traditional chili.

What are Bush’s White Chili Beans?

White Chili Beans from Bush Beans are delicious. They are great northern beans that are seasoned with a range of spices and herbs, to create the perfectly spiced sauce (don’t worry, it’s mild). They’re super easy to use. And the best part about them? They’re gluten-free, dairy free, and extremely nutritious – making them suitable for a range of dietary lifestyles.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons oil

• 1 chopped onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1/2 cup flour

Step 2: Cook the veg

Add the butter to the same pot and melt it. Now add the carrots, celery, onion and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables become soft – usually around 5 minutes. Add a pinch of flour and stir.

Add the beans, jalapeno, and sweet corn. Now simmer for a further 20 minutes. At this point, you can add the cream and cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. Now place the chicken back into the pot (along with the juices) and simmer for a further 20-30 minutes.
