How to Make Low Fat White Chicken Chili

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 green bell pepper (diced). Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes), and cook until browned on all sides.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans (rinsed and drained), 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth, 1 (4-ounce) can of diced green chiles, 1-2 jalapeños (minced – adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup light sour cream and 1/4 cup light whipping cream. Heat through, stirring frequently, until heated but not boiling (about 5 minutes). Do not boil.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, avocado, or cilantro. Enjoy over rice or on its own!
