White Bean Chicken Chili

Fall calls for comfort food like chili. Change it up from a heavy beef version with chicken and white beans. You’ll be feeling cozy in no time!

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Dust the chicken with flour. Sauté in 2 tsp oil just until browned on all sides (about 3 minutes). Do not cook through. Set aside.
2. Sauté the onion in 1 tsp oil for 5 minutes. Add the corn and sauté for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Add the red pepper, garlic, cumin, jalapeños and salt and pepper and sauté for 3 minutes.
3. Add 1½ cups of the beans. Purée the remaining ½ cup with ½ cup of chicken stock. Add to the pot along with the remaining stock. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Add the chicken and cheese and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Garnish with avocado, cilantro and cheddar.
