### Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 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 sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken breasts to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot along with the white beans, diced green chiles, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Stir to combine.
- Let the chili simmer on low heat for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Just before serving, stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well incorporated.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and additional cheese if desired. Enjoy your comforting bowl of white chicken chili!
