How to Make Chili Blanco

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, jalapeño, diced green chiles, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Add the shredded chicken and cannellini beans. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors have melded.
Remove from heat and stir in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted and creamy.
To serve: Layer tortilla chips in the bottom of bowls. Ladle the chili over the chips.
Garnish with a side salad and enjoy!
