While there are so many tasty red bean, beef or turkey chili recipes out there, we like a somewhat lighter variety. Still packed with flavor, this recipe puts chicken and white beans in the limelight for a change, and is super easy to make, regardless of whether you have a slow cooker! Seriously, it doesn’t get much easier than throwing your ingredients in the good, ol’ crock pot, but you can also spruce this up a little if you want a thicker chili. Before you throw everything in and flip the switch, you can put 1 can of white beans in a blender or food processor before adding them; this makes for a slightly creamier chili, if that’s something you’re interested in. Other than that, you just chop a few things up, kick back and relax until it’s time for some yummy, warm goodness!
