White Bean Chicken Chili

I have two recipes for this, and we tried one of them tonight. It was different...good, but different. My mom suggested using the one we had tonight as the one we eat more regularly (because it is healthier) and saving the other recipe for when we take meals to people who are ill/have a baby/etc. or when we have guests. I agree.
