Omit the chicken and use vegetable broth. Add an extra can of beans (like cannellini or pinto) and 1 cup of frozen corn for a hearty vegetarian chili.

Stir in 1 cup of frozen or fresh corn during the last 10 minutes of simmering for added sweetness and texture.

Yes, this chili freezes well. Let it cool completely, then transfer it to freezer-safe containers or bags. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop. Note that the creamy texture might change slightly upon reheating, but it will still be delicious.
Great Northern beans are a classic choice because they hold their shape well and have a mild flavor. Cannellini beans are another excellent option as they are larger and creamier. Navy beans also work well but can break down more, which can help thicken the chili naturally.
