Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

Beans

  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed

Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients. In a large pot over medium heat, add the shredded chicken, drained white beans, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  2. Add Cream and Simmer. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to incorporate. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing the heat to low once it starts bubbling. Let it cook slowly, stirring occasionally.

  • This chili pairs well with cornbread or crusty bread.
  • To make it lighter, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or evaporated milk.
