Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 15-ounce can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 4-ounce cans diced green chilies
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced green bell pepper, and minced jalapeño. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken and turkey to the pot. Cook while breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the meat evenly with the spices.
Pour in the chicken broth, then add the cannellini beans, great northern beans, and diced green chilies. Stir to combine.
Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in the fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro just before serving.
Ladle the white chili into bowls and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and sour cream, if desired.
