How to Make White Chicken Chili

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts over medium-high heat. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional). Cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Pour in 4 cups chicken broth and 1 (15-ounce) can of white beans, rinsed and drained. Add the cooked chicken, 1 (15-ounce) can of corn, drained, and 1 (4-ounce) can of diced green chilies.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and flavors have melded.
  6. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream or milk (or coconut milk for a vegan option) and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or extra cheese.
