How to Make Johnd's White Bean Chili

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the chopped onion in a little olive oil until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the diced chicken breast to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  4. Add the diced potatoes, carrots, diced tomatoes, Rotel, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes and carrots are tender.
  5. Stir in the rinsed and drained navy beans during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot over cooked rice or pasta. Garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado.
