Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 (15 ounces) cans great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups corn
  • 4 ounces diced green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain or Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Swirl in some oil to coat the bottom. Add your minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté them for about 3 minutes until they’re fragrant and softened.
  2. Once your onions are translucent, sprinkle in cumin, oregano, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds to toast the spices.
  3. In a small bowl, mash about 1 cup of beans with a fork until chunky. This will help thicken your chili. Add this mashed mixture along with chicken broth, remaining whole beans, corn, green chilies, and chicken breasts into the pot. Cover everything up and bring it to a boil before reducing heat to low-medium. Let it simmer gently for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them into bite-sized pieces. Return it to the pot along with fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and creamy yogurt. Stir well to combine all those lovely flavors together.
  5. Serve your warm white chicken chili topped with tortilla chips, creamy avocado slices, and additional yogurt if desired.
