From the book

Introduction

If your family loves a hearty traditional chilli, you have to try this alternative. This simple, slow-cooked, flavourful white chicken chilli is my favourite thing to come home to at the moment. Made with hearty beans, tender chicken and a rich creamy broth, it’s super satisfying and simple to make.
