Description
A comforting white chicken chili that brings together vibrant flavors and warmth, perfect for chilly nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they’re soft and fragrant—about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken breasts along with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine everything well; this will be the base of your flavorful chili.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and all the spices meld together beautifully.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot along with the white beans and green chilies.
- Allow everything to simmer together for an additional 5-10 minutes. This step helps the flavors deepen and the beans warm through.
- If desired, stir in the sour cream for a creamy texture. Serve your chili topped with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro for extra flavor and garnish.
Notes
Using a rotisserie chicken can save time and infuse your chili with tons of flavor. Customize your spices to make it your own, and add a squeeze of lime just before serving for a refreshing zing.
