White Chili Ingredients

Method

Directions for White Chili

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, green bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Add the ground turkey or chicken to the pot. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Beans and Broth

    Stir in the drained white beans, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lime Juice

    Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy your white chili!
