Delicious White Chicken Chili
There’s something incredibly comforting about a bowl of white chicken chili. Its creamy base combined with tender chicken and a blend of spices creates a symphony of flavors that everyone will enjoy.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Stir in the chopped chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the white beans, green chilies, cumin, chili powder, chicken broth, and corn to the pot. Stir everything together and bring it to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Once the chili is ready, stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese, mixing until everything is creamy and well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the chili hot, garnished with additional cheese or fresh cilantro if desired.
This white chicken chili is not only simple to prepare but also incredibly satisfying, making it a great choice for any weeknight dinner or a gathering with friends. Enjoy every flavorful spoonful!
