Creamy White Chicken Chili for Cozy Weeknights served fresh with the ingredients described in the recipe

This comforting white chili turns cooked chicken, pantry beans and mild green chiles into a generous one-pot dinner. Mashing a portion of the beans gives the broth body without a heavy flour base. Keep the heat gentle, then let everyone choose their own toppings.
