White Bean Chili

PLANT BASED OR CHICKEN

Today’s recipe is a ReShape favorite… White Bean Chili, made two ways. The first is a hearty veggie version that’s 100% plant-powered, filled with creamy white beans, sweet corn, and zucchini in a flavorful broth of chili, cumin, and green chiles. There’s also a chicken version that keeps all the same flavor and fiber-rich goodness. Both are warm, satisfying, and ready in under 45 minutes, proof that plant-strong meals can be simple, nourishing, and seriously delicious.
