How to Make White Chicken Chili Best Ever

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) for 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1-2 jalapeños (seeded and minced) 1 (28-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 4 cups of chicken broth, and 2 (15-ounce) cans of cannellini beans (rinsed and drained).
  3. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Add 2 cups of cooked chicken (shredded or cubed), 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of oregano, and 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
  5. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, or until the flavors have melded and the chili has thickened slightly. For a richer flavor, simmer longer. You can also cook this in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or chopped cilantro.
