Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup white cheddar cheese freshly shredded
  • 1 Granny Smith apple diced
  • 1 can 15 oz white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Sauté onions in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes until soft and glossy. If they brown too fast, lower the heat.
  • Add shredded chicken, diced apple, beans, and spices. Stir well, pour in broth, and let the chili simmer for 20 minutes until the apples soften but keep some texture. If it gets too thick, add a splash of broth.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the white cheddar until creamy and smooth. If the cheese starts clumping, move the pot off the burner and stir gently.
