Rack M Nation: White Bean Chicken Chili

Its getting cold outside. So lets get to cookin' something hot.

I've shared this recipe numerous times to readers & commenters of RMN, but I haven't shown you how I make it, yet! So, here we are.

I adapted this recipe HERE.

This is great for cold nights and some cold beers.
