CHICKEN AND NORTHERN BEANS WHITE CHILI



Chicken and Northern Beans White Chili image

Chili is one of our go-to winter dishes but there comes a time, about halfway through the season, when we tire of all our favorite cold weather recipes. If you know the feeling, we suggest this recipe as an antidote! It's got all the heartiness of your standard bowl o' red but has a couple of differentiators that make it deliciously different. It's brothy base makes it taste a little lighter as does the inclusion of chicken (or turkey, if you desire). But the seasoning is what will really wake up your taste buds-in addition to the expected chili powder, this recipe includes dried basil and most surprising of all: ground cloves. Though you wouldn't expect it, the sweet and peppery flavor of cloves goes beautifully in chili. So, next time you need a winter warm-up meal, we suggest this recipe.
