A comforting and flavorful twist on traditional chili, packed with chicken, white beans, and zesty spices.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed (like cannellini or great northern beans)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can diced green chiles
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, add a splash of oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Combine the ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, drained beans, diced green chiles, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  3. Bring to a boil: Increase the heat and bring the chili to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Simmer for flavor: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  5. Serve hot: Ladle the chili into bowls and add your favorite toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, or a sprinkle of cilantro.

Notes

For quicker preparation, use store-bought rotisserie chicken. Adjust the spice level to your liking.
