This chili made an appearance at our Thanksgiving table because it's that good. And because Lucy made it. So now we call it Lucy's chili, but the recipe comes from www.thewholesomedish.com

Easiest White Chili

We had this the other day at a friend's house and it was so delicious.  She said she makes it all of the time because its so easy- you just throw everything in the pot and simmer.  To make it even easier, grab the rotisserie chicken at your grocery and zero prep involved!
