White Chicken Chili

I don't make spicy chili, because my husband likes it mild.  If you want spicy just add 1 or 2 chopped jalapeño peppers when you are cooking the onions and bell peppers.  I also will roast a whole chicken and remove the chicken from that.   You could buy a rotisserie chicken and remove all the meat if you don't want to cook your own or just use a couple chicken breasts.
