CHILI WITH CHICKEN AND BEANS
If you like, spice up this robust chili by adding chopped fresh hot chile peppers. You can also replace the canned beans with cooked dried beans; if you do so, use the bean cooking liquid to replace half the chicken stock.

CHICKEN CHILI WITH BLACK BEANS
Because it looks different than traditional chili, my family was a little hesitant to try this dish at first. Thanks to the full, hearty flavor, it's become a real favorite around our house. I like to serve it with warm cornbread. -Jeanette Urbom, Louisburg, Kansas

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
Skip your standard recipe, white chili is totally worth your while. Made with chicken, white beans and broth, this version is amenable to whatever heat level (or lack thereof) that you desire, and it's plenty hearty, though its consistency is less chunky than red chile. What really defines this recipe is its brighter, fresher flavor, which is due to the use of broth, a garnish of cilantro and inclusion of green chiles. Contrary to what you might imagine, green chiles are not hot. They're just delicious. So if you've got a package of chicken on hand, why not give this a try?
