White Chili

My mom sent me this recipe the other day because she made it and loved it so much she shared it with me. I really did enjoy it as well, so now I'm sharing it with you. My mom bought a lemon pepper rotisserie chicken and used the meat off of that. I just boiled some chicken breasts and shredded them, and so I think mine needed some more seasonings. Next time I think I will try adding some more of the chili seasoning to it or using a rotisserie like my mom did. Next time maybe I will make my own rotisserie chicken in a crockpot and then use the meat off of that. :-)

-3 to 4 cups chopped cooked chicken

-4 (16 oz) cans navy beans, drained and rinsed
