Creating Cajun White Chicken Chili is straightforward when you follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Heat Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Spices: Stir in the Cajun seasoning, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables.

7. Stir in Cream: After the chili has simmered, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and mix well.
8. Taste & Adjust: Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more Cajun seasoning for extra heat.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and prepare to serve.
