Storing Tips: 
- Store chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave in a heatproof bowl until hot throughout. If you want to reheat an entire batch, you can reheat on the stovetop in a pot over medium heat.
- White bean chicken chili is freezer-friendly! Store it in a freezer-safe container or large ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Let the chili thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat in a pot on the stovetop or in the microwave.
