Name: Chicken and White Bean Chili
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 9 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 4 pounds chicken; 1 liter water; 2 tablespoons chicken soup base; 1 large bay leaf; 1 medium size onion; 1 bell pepper; 3 large garlic cloves; 5 tablespoons flour; 439 g .5 can cannellini beans; 2 tablespoons mild chili powder; 1 teaspoon ground coriander; 2 teaspoons ground cumin; 1 tablespoon coriander; 250 ml heavy whipping cream; 187 ml soured cream; 9 servings bell pepper

This chicken and white bean chili starts by simmering chicken quarters to build a flavorful broth. Once the chicken is shredded, the broth is thickened with a flour slurry, then spiced with chili powder, coriander, and cumin. Cannellini beans and cream are stirred in for a rich, creamy finish. It's a substantial meal that comes together in about 45 minutes. For make-ahead purposes, if you plan to freeze the chili, hold off on adding the creams until just before serving, as they can separate when frozen.
