WHITE LIGHTNING CHILI

White Lightning Chili image

This recipe's from my distant cousin. She made this during our family reunion. This is a tweaked version that has some meaty pinto beans and some chipotle chili powder running through it to give it some nice smokiness. Don't worry about the amount of spices. It may seem like a lot, but in the end, it's really not. Preparation time does not include the time you cook the chicken.
