Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 cups (or cans, 15 ounces each) canned great northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (4 ounces) canned diced green chilies
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the great northern beans, diced green chilies, chicken broth, ground cumin, dried oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or spices if needed.
Serve the chili hot, topped with sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
