This comforting white chili with its creamy texture and a touch of spicy jalapeño heat is a delicious way to warm up on a cold night. Unlike a lot of chili recipes, this one takes just minutes, because it starts with pre-cooked shredded chicken. Two kinds of corn—creamed and whole-kernel—as well as white beans, chicken stock, and heavy cream give it plenty of flavor and richness.
