White Bean Chicken Chili

So, I was looking for a warm and yummy dish, that could feed an army during the thanksgiving weekend.  I thought what about chili... Then I remembered a recipe my friend/personal trainer Abby & I made for football Sunday... Food Network's White chicken chili. Well, here is my spin, White Bean Chicken Chili... Hope you enjoy it as much as my thanksgiving army and I did.
