WHITE CHICKEN CHILI RECIPE BY TASTY



White Chicken Chili Recipe by Tasty image

This white chicken chili is perfect for a bowl of weeknight comfort. Half of the beans are mashed for extra creaminess (without cream!), but otherwise the stew is full of texture from cubed chicken, green chiles, corn, and Great Northern beans. Don't forget the toppings!

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Lunch

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cans great northern beans, drained and rinsed, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans green chile
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups low sodium chicken stock
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
shredded cheddar cheese, for serving
fresh cilantro leaf, for serving, roughly chopped
sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Add 1 can of Great Northern beans to a medium bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until chunky.
  • Add the olive oil to a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the chicken and season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic, green chiles, cumin, oregano, cayenne, chili powder, and black pepper and stir until the chicken is coated and the spices are aromatic, about 1 minute.
  • Add the mashed beans and chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring the soup to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the remaining can of whole beans, corn, and remaining 2 teaspoons of salt. Cover and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, until warmed through.
  • Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, cilantro, and sour cream.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • If you want a creamier chili, use 2 cans of coconut milk instead of 1.
  • To make the chili spicier, add 1 teaspoon of chili powder or a few dashes of cayenne pepper.
  • If you don't have any canned corn, you can use frozen corn or fresh corn kernels.
  • If you don't have any green chilies, you can use 1 teaspoon of chili powder instead.
  • You can also add other vegetables to this chili, such as diced bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or diced avocado.

Conclusion:

This is a delicious and easy-to-make chili that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up any leftover chicken or turkey. The chili is creamy, flavorful, and has just the right amount of spice. It is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
