3 15-ounce cans great northern beans, rinsed
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 cups diced cooked skinless turkey or chicken

I threw all the ingredients into a crockpot and let the chili cook on low for about 4-5 hours. It was delicious, definitely needs the lime to perk up the flavors.

This is a keeper. Adding the lime, to your own taste really tops it off. I didn't think the lime would work but it does. I also added some red pepper flakes for a little extra punch.

This is a major weeknight staple at our house. I often double the recipe as it reheats really well for lunch the next day. Lime really sets off the flavors; I often serve it with whole grain tortilla chips and avocado with a green salad.

Just didn't do it for me. More like a chicken soup than a chili. Guess I just like a bowl of red more!
