South of the Border White Bean Chili


Any kind of chili is good. And this one  made with white beans and chicken is in a class of its own.  I made this chili earlier this week, and it was yummy! 

This recipe is a mix of one from two from my church Come & Dine  cookbook and a recipe from my daughter-in-law's family cookbook.  Two of the recipes called for 4 cans of beans and one for 2, and I decided to make it with 4 cans.  Just so you know that was a lot of beans, and I love beans!
