I added some boneless skinless chicken thighs to the pot.

I also added the blended bean mixture, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to the pot.

FAQS:

Can I substitute the chicken thighs for chicken breasts?
Absolutely! Chicken breasts can also be used for this recipe, I just happen to like the texture and extra juiciness of chicken thighs.

Can I use Cannellini beans instead of Navy beans?
Yes, you can substitute Cannellini beans for Navy beans (they both have the same creamy texture when cooked), however, do not use Garbanzo beans.

What is the best way to store leftovers?
Simply put any leftover chili (not including the garnishes) into an airtight container. The chili will keep for up to 4 days.
