Description

A comforting and creamy twist on traditional chili featuring tender chicken, white beans, and zesty green chilies.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 can white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can diced green chilies
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a pot over medium heat, pour in a little oil and sauté the onions and garlic until they are soft and fragrant.
  2. Add the chicken breast and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the green chilies, white beans, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it using two forks, and return it to the pot.
  6. Gently stir in the sour cream and heat through until combined.
  7. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro.

Notes

Adjust the spices to your taste. For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with beans or corn.
