A comforting and hearty white chicken chili, perfect for cozy family dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans (e.g., cannellini or Great Northern)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • Shredded cheese, cilantro, avocado, lime wedges, for topping

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: In a large pot, cook the chicken over medium heat until it is no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from the pot and shred the chicken with two forks.
  2. Sauté vegetables: In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the peppers are soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add the shredded chicken back to the pot, along with the white beans, chicken broth, diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add corn and cream: Stir in the corn and heavy cream (or sour cream) for added richness. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
  6. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with your favorite toppings.
