Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Add the diced chicken to the pot, cooking until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Stir in the ground cumin, dried oregano, and chili powder, mixing well to coat the chicken and onions.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
5. Add the white beans, black beans, and frozen corn to the pot. Continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the flavors have melded together.
6. Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and shredded cheese if desired.

Helpful Tips

• For a thicker chili, mash some of the white beans before adding them to the pot.
• If you’re short on time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.

Storage Instructions

This chili can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have black beans, pinto beans make a great substitute. For a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy sour cream alternative.

Pairings

Serve this White Chicken Chili with some warm cornbread or a fresh green salad. A crisp white wine or a light beer would complement the flavors beautifully.
