Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the pot and let it rest before shredding.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked chicken (shredded), white beans, chicken broth, green chiles, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

  2. 5

    Add Lime Juice

    After simmering, add lime juice to the chili and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Chili

    Ladle the white chicken chili into bowls. Top each bowl with tortilla chips, chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and shredded cheese.
