We love a big pot meal, and this one doesn’t disappoint. This chili is a departure from heavy, beef-based chilis and sends in chicken and citrus as a sub. Our Cilantro and Lime Pepper and Cilantro Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil are key here. The citrus-y zing really makes the dish. Add this one to your wintertime warm-up repertoire!

| 2. | Add the tomato paste to the onion and bell pepper and saute, increasing the heat just a bit and allowing the tomato paste to brown a little. Reduce the heat and add the ground chicken to the pot along with the Cilantro and Lime Pepper. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 7 minutes. |
| 3. | Add in the garlic and jalapeño and saute just until fragrant, about 2 minutes. |
| 4. | Add in the white beans, diced tomatoes, stock, Oregano and Cumin. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. |
| 5. | Reduce the heat and place the cover on the pot. Cook on low for 45-60 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper. |
| 6. | Stir in half of the cilantro and hold the other for garnishing the individual portions along with the sour cream. |
