creamy white chili with jackfruit and navy beans instead of chicken

Vegan White No-Chicken Chili with Pulled Jackfruit

Allison Mulcahy
Vegan White No-Chicken Chili with Pulled Jackfruit is rich, hearty, and ultra-creamy. This bowl of plant-based goodness gets tons of flavor from onions, garlic, poblano pepper, green chiles, and classic spices like cumin and chili powder. The shredded jackfruit adds a satisfying meatiness to every bite, and the white beans add plenty of protein. Enjoy this steamy, one-pot, comforting chili with lots of toppings like dairy-free sour cream, avocado, jalapenos, and crunchy tortilla strips!

Notes

Instead of canned jackfruit, you can use pre-shredded jackfruit from a pouch, like Upton's Naturals.  I'd use two 7-ounce packages.
Or, instead of jackfruit, you can use shredded vegan chicken.
We liked Kite Hill Chive Cream Cheese the best for this recipe!
