Golden Chicken Chili
Description
This Golden Chicken Chili is the ultimate comfort food for chilly evenings. It combines the earthy richness of slow-cooked Great Northern beans with the mild sweetness of summer squash and the savory depth of cumin and chili powder. The chicken becomes incredibly tender, falling apart into the thick, golden broth. Bright notes from fresh lime juice and cilantro cut through the richness, while pickled jalapenos add a subtle, tangy heat. Perfect for weeknight dinners or potlucks, this one-pot meal is easy to prepare and delivers robust, home-style flavor that satisfies the whole family. Serve it warm with crusty bread or over rice for a complete, hearty meal.Directions
