White Chicken Chili

(Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, FODMAP-Friendly)

I've had multiple chicken chili recipes over the years, and none of them measure up to the flavor of this recipe. This creamy rich chili is full of chickpeas, organic corn, white rice, and chunks of chicken. I have tweaked it to make it gluten-free, dairy-free, and FODMAP-friendly, so everyone in the family can enjoy it. I promise you won't be able to tell the difference!

It is very challenging to find chili dishes that Lauren can eat because they typically include dairy and high FODMAP ingredients. This dish is the exception. It is such a comfort food recipe, and it is so easy to make. You essentially mix everything in a pot and leave it alone to cook. The kids usually aren't big on spicy dishes, but the spices in this dish blend so well, that they bring out the flavor without being overwhelming. This is a great recipe to make all year round. I love to take it to parties, because it makes a good portion, and everyone loves it.

• 1 Tbsp. chives

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• 1/4 tsp. pepper

• 6 to 8 ounces of dairy free/vegan sour cream

• 1 ¼ cup frozen corn OR 1 can corn, drained - we prefer organic
