Ingredients:

Serving

2 tsp vegetable oil
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast , cut into bite-sized pieces
1 1/2 cups finely chopped carrot
3/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
3/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup canned chopped green chiles
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 (16-oz) can cannellini beans
1 (14 1/2-oz) can fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth
3 tbsp classic pesto

Directions:

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and chicken; sauté 5 minutes. Add carrot, bell pepper, and celery; sauté 4 minutes. Add chiles and the next 6 ingredients (chiles though broth); bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes. Stir in Classic Pesto.

Prepare the chili without Classic Pesto, and spoon into a freezer-safe container. Cool completely in refrigerator; cover and freeze. Thaw chili and pesto in refrigerator. Place chili in a large skillet; cook over medium-low heat until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Stir in Classic Pesto.
