Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small jalapeño, diced (optional, seeds removed for less heat)
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth (gluten-free certified)
- 2 15-ounce cans canned white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 4-ounce cans diced green chilies (gluten-free certified)
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 large sliced avocado (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, garlic, and jalapeño (if using) to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the shredded chicken, chicken broth, white beans, diced green chilies, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk and cornstarch until smooth.
Slowly pour the almond milk mixture into the pot, stirring constantly to avoid clumping. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the chili thickens slightly.
Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and optional sliced avocado. Pair with gluten-free tortilla chips or cornbread if desired.
