Why Choose White Beans
White beans are a fantastic addition to this chili. They are often easier to digest than darker beans, making them a great choice for those with sensitive stomachs.
Plus, they add a creamy texture that perfectly complements the tender chicken and savory broth.
Nightshade-Free Goodness
Traditional chili recipes often include nightshades like tomatoes and chilis, which can be problematic for some people.
This Modified AIP version skips these ingredients entirely, ensuring that you can enjoy a delicious bowl of chili without any adverse reactions.
What’s Up with Beans, Seed Spices, and Ghee?
You might be wondering why this recipe includes beans, seed spices, and ghee when it’s labeled as AIP (Autoimmune Protocol). The answer lies in the Modified part of the name!
The Modified AIP is a less strict version of the Core (original) AIP diet. Based on recent studies, this version allows for more flexibility while still providing the benefits of the AIP diet. Learn more about the differences between Core and Modified AIP here!

Recipe Notes
PRODUCTS USED IN THE RECIPE:
*HOW TO SPROUT DRY BEANS:
- Choose the type of beans you want to sprout. Measure out the desired amount.
- Rinse the beans thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Place the rinsed beans in a large jar. Add enough water to cover the beans by about 2-3 inches.
- Let them soak for 8-12 hours or overnight. This helps to soften the beans and initiate the sprouting process.
- Drain the water using a mesh lid or cheesecloth secured with a rubber band over the mouth of the jar. Rinse the beans with fresh water and drain again thoroughly.
- Place the jar at an angle in a bowl or dish rack to allow excess water to drain out and air to circulate. Keep the jar in a dark, cool place (around 65-75 F).
- Rinse and drain the beans 2-3 times a day with fresh water. Always ensure that excess water is drained out completely to prevent mold growth.
- Continue rinsing and draining for about 2-3 days, or until small sprouts are visible on the beans depending on the type of bean and desired length of sprouts.
- Drain thoroughly and let them dry on a clean towel or paper towel. Cook as you would dry beans, but cook for slightly less longer, until tender. Use in recipes as you would cooked / canned beans.
