White Bean Chicken Chili

We love a big pot of chili on a cold night, and white bean chili might just be our new favorite! It’s creamy and full of flavor with a blast of Tex-Mex goodness from generous amounts of cumin and diced chilies. Make sure to thicken it up at the end by smashing some of the beans in the pot. The best part though? Loading it up with enough toppings to cover the bowl!
