Prepare all ingredients: juice 2 whole lemons, chop carrots, celery, onion, and thinly slice garlic.

Brown 2 pounds of ground chicken in a pan until cooked through.

Drain the ground chicken and return it to the pan.

Add seasoning mix (cumin, lemon pepper, salt, and garlic powder) to the ground chicken and stir well to coat.

Transfer the seasoned ground chicken to the crock pot.

In the same pan, add a little oil and sauté the diced carrots, celery, and onion until they start to get color.

Add the thinly sliced garlic to the sautéed vegetables and cook for another minute.

Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice and add 1 tablespoon of tahini, stirring to combine.

Add the sautéed vegetables to the crock pot with the ground chicken.

Set the crock pot on high for at least 4 hours, but do not add the white beans yet.

After 6 hours of cooking, add the drained and rinsed white kidney beans to the crock pot.

Optionally, add a scoop of sour cream and stir everything together.

Serve with rice if desired.
