White Bean Chicken Chili

Our church ward had a chili cook-off for our Trunk-or-treat party, and this is the chili I provided. It was a contest and mine didn’t even come close. There were so many yummy different varieties, including similar, but better chicken chilis. One I liked the most was thick and creamy and included corn.

I thought mine was more like a soup. But here is the recipe because it is very yummy anyway. It would be good to serve with cheese quesadillas.
