Branch out beyond a traditional tomato-based chili and try this comforting broth-based rendition brimming with chicken and white beans. This recipe uses a combination of both mild poblano and spicier serrano chilies for intense flavor and the perfect level of heat. With plenty of cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and spices, this chili has tons of depth. Serve with tortilla chips and a garden salad drizzled with a creamy avocado or salsa ranch yogurt-based dressing. To store leftovers, transfer the chili to an airtight container and let cool. Cover and refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
