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.

NORTHERN WHITE CHILI

Northern White Chili image

This is different from any other white chicken chili recipe we've tried. It's on the mild side and creamy but where it differs is the addition of clove. When you first take a bite, you taste the seasoning and won't be able to put your finger on it. It's a secret ingredient that adds to the overall flavor of this one-pot chicken...
