White Bean Chicken Chili
- Details
Mild and mellow with layers of spice, this go-to chicken chili recipe is sure to please. It’s equally delicious whether you’re cooking in a Dutch oven in the back country or entertaining friends at home. This version is not too hot, but packed with flavor from Adobo, Fajita & Taco Spice and Mexican oregano. This is our favorite version, but you can play with different flavor profiles by changing the Fajita & Taco Spice to another chili powder like Chipotle, Ancho or New Mexico. Adobo is the perfect spice base for all Latin soups and stews. A simple shortcut to flavor, it includes onion, garlic and cumin.
