Q1. Can I use frozen chicken breasts?

Absolutely, Just add them straight from the freezer - no need to thaw. You might need to extend the cook time by about an hour on low. The chicken will still shred beautifully once cooked through.

Q2. How can I make this chili spicier?

Easy peasy, Add a diced jalapeño with the green chiles, or stir in some cayenne pepper or hot sauce at the end. My husband always adds a few shakes of chipotle powder for smoky heat.

Q3. Can I make this on the stovetop instead?

Sure thing, Just simmer everything (except the dairy) in a large pot for about 30-40 minutes until the chicken cooks through. Shred, then stir in the sour cream and cheese off heat.

Q4. What if I don't have white beans?

No worries - pinto beans or even chickpeas work great in a pinch. The texture will be slightly different, but still delicious. I've used them all depending on what's in my pantry.
