This is my ultimate time saving "go-to" recipe for quick dinners the whole family loves. I grill several pounds of chicken breast over the weekends and store it for quick use through the week for fast dinners. I always have either Great Northern beans and/or the White Kidney Beans-labeled as Cannellini Beans by Bush's Best, but you can really use which ever you have- I prefer the northern simply because they are smaller, but really no difference in taste. I normally use chicken broth; but was out so I grabbed the beef that was in the pantry and turned out just as well. Can make with or without the cream of celery- but adding it helps thicken it up some. Can add as much water as you want to cook off- really the liquid is up to your own preference. When I originally saw this recipe- it was with just one tablespoon of chili powder; but I like more flavor than that so I make it with two. I actually got this recipe out of a parents magazine awhile ago.
