The one above looks good if I can do from Chicago.
It works just fine from Chicago for the same price. But leaving from ORD only nets you 19152 miles. Make sure you don't end up ~800 miles short. You might could route through JFK or MIA. if 19152 miles is enough for you then you would be fine with this:
