Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans great Northern beans, drained
  • 2 (4-ounce) cans mild green chiles with juices
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels

Spices

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Additional

  • ⅔ cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and cook for about 4 minutes until they are softened and translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release its aroma without burning.
  2. Add Ingredients and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth, then add the drained great Northern beans, mild green chiles with their juices, diced chicken breasts, and corn kernels. Season the mixture with chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  3. Incorporate Sour Cream: To prevent curdling, take about ½ cup of the hot chili and mix it into the sour cream in a small bowl until smooth. Then stir this mixture back into the pot of chili, ensuring it is well combined and creamy. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful white chicken chili!

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, consider using medium or hot green chiles instead of mild.
  • If you prefer a thicker chili, mash some of the beans before adding them.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, or diced avocado for added flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
