White Chicken Chili Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans (such as cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
• 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
• Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
• Grated Monterey Jack cheese for garnish
• Sliced green onions for garnish
• Lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

• Add the minced garlic and cubed chicken to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.

• Add the ground cumin, dried oregano, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to coat the chicken and onions with the spices.

• Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained white beans and chopped green chilies. Stir to combine.

• Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

• Add the frozen corn kernels to the pot and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

• Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half. Simmer for a few more minutes until the chili is heated through.

• Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. If you prefer a thicker chili, you can use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to lightly mash some of the beans.

• Serve the white chicken chili hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro, grated Monterey Jack cheese, sliced green onions, and lime wedges for squeezing.
