Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium-sized, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed great Northern beans
- 2 4-ounce cans, diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 4 ounces, softened cream cheese
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) fresh cilantro
- 1 optional, cut into wedges for serving lime
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the chicken breasts in the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds with a fork.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Set aside.
Return the pot to medium heat. Add the great Northern beans, diced green chilies, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, and ground white pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the softened cream cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
Add the heavy cream and shredded chicken back into the pot. Stir well and let cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve with lime wedges for a zesty finish.
