Our good friends in our ward made this recipe for our Halloween ward chili cook off and we loved it!  It is from Allrecipes.com.

1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast- cubed
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
4 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 ground cumin
1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp butter
1/4 c flour
3 c chicken broth
2 (14 oz) cans great Northern beans, undrained


DIRECTIONS

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.  Add chicken and saute until cooked through.  Remove the chicken from the pan.

Saute the onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, jalapeno chili peppers and garlic in the same skillet.  Return the chicken along with the ginger, salt, sage, cumin, and pepper.  Mix thoroughly.

In a separate small saucepan or skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat.  Stir in flour to make a roux.  Whisk in the chicken broth and mix all together.  Stir this mixture into the sauteed chicken and vegetables.
