Recipe Notes
Chili is a great way to improve your Mediterranean diet score with recipes you know and love.
This White Chili might not be one that you know but it should be. It is a milder, creamy chili that has tons and tons of flavor. If you have GERD/Acid Reflux, eliminating the chili powder and cayenne pepper might make this something you can eat.
The great thing about this chili is that it is a complete meal – beans, veggies, a little bit of chicken and cheese – all in a single pot. As always, make extra so that you have a lot for leftovers and this chili even freezes well.
