A creamy, savory twist on traditional chili that combines chicken, great northern beans, and spices for a comforting dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 (4 oz) cans diced green chiles
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Juice from 1/2 small lime
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 (15 oz) cans great northern beans
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or fresh
  • 2 heaping cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Shredded cheese, for garnish
  • Tortilla chips, for garnish
  • Green onions, for garnish
  • Avocado, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3–5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced green chiles, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, dried oregano, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Drain and rinse the great northern beans. Optionally, puree a ladleful of the beans with a splash of hot broth until smooth and return it to the pot for a creamier texture.
  6. Add the whole beans and corn to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 to 30 minutes.
  7. Stir in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and shredded chicken, warming just until heated through.
  8. Serve hot, topping with cilantro, shredded cheese, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and tortilla chips.

Notes

For a healthier option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream, or use rotisserie chicken to save time.
