This white bean chicken chili recipe is one my family really enjoys. It's a light, spicy soup that's great in any season. For spicier tastes, add more cayenne or your favorite hot sauce. Serve with crackers, Cheddar cheese, or sour cream.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or to taste

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into cubes

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 jalapeno peppers, minced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 quart chicken broth

  • 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 2 (15.5 ounce) cans white (cannellini) beans, drained and rinsed

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken, bell pepper, and onion; sauté until chicken is browned and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in jalapeños and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
