I promise you will love this chicken chili! The shredded chicken is sautéed in the smoky spices while the white cannelloni beans add a nice creamy texture! Then throw in the fire roasted tomatoes and you have quite the chili. The whole family will love it. You can freeze left-overs in separate containers so it’s easy to pull out and thaw and reheat one at a time. Healthy and delicious. Enjoy!
