Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  2. Add chicken pieces to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
  3. Stir in the cannellini beans, diced green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for at least 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle the chili into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute turkey for chicken if desired.
  • This chili can be made ahead of time and reheats well.
