On a cold rainy evening, or really any evening, this white bean chicken chili is perfect! This soup is a family favorite and delicious, especially with fresh bread on the side. Our chicken came in packs of two, so I changed the original recipe from delish and added an extra chicken breast (to make it 4) which ended up working perfectly. To make up for this addition of meat, I added an extra cup of broth! As someone who loves flavor, but not when it mingles with spice, I left out the jalapeño, but feel free to add!
