- Using a Dutch oven or large pot, add butter and place over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add celery and onions.

- Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Using a wooden spoon, mash some of the beans against the side of the saucepan to thicken the chili. (Note: The amount of beans you mash – some or all – is entirely up to personal preference!)
- Add cooked chicken; stir until well combined.

- For serving, top with a dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions and crumbled blue cheese.
