Inspired by all the various versions of White Chicken Chili, I change things up with some classic Cajun seasoning instead of the standard Cumin and Oregano. Thickening is done with a flour rue and mashed beans. This recipe is quick and easy, perfect for the Dutch oven and cooking outdoors! Equipment - 12-inch Dutch oven, approximately 20 charcoal briquettes.
