Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed chicken breasts to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (including juices), sweet corn, black beans, and white beans into the pot. Stir to combine.
Return the browned chicken to the pot.
Add the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to blend the spices evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro. Optionally, top with shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
