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!

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI



White Chicken Chili image

Whether you call this dish a chili or hearty chicken and bean stew, it's definitely a winner. The first time I made it for my kids, they asked me so many times what it was called, but by the end of the meal they cared much more about getting second helpings than remembering the name! If you have time be sure to double the recipe and store in the fridge or freezer, because, like most soups and stews, the leftovers are amazing.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 jalapeño, minced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels (no need to thaw)
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans (such as Great Northern or cannellini), drained and rinsed
1 3/4 cups chicken broth, store bought or homemade
1/4 cup heavy cream
Optional toppings:
Chopped cilantro, sour cream, grated Monterey Jack cheese, diced avocado, and/or corn tortilla strips

Steps:

  • Break up some of the beans with the back of a wooden spoon to help thicken the chili. Stir in the cream, garnish with the desired toppings, and serve!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans in your chili for a more complex flavor. Great options include black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat to your chili. A little bit of chili powder or cayenne pepper can go a long way.
