Instructions
Creating One-Pot White Chicken Chili is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to make this delightful dish:
1. Sauté Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic, diced jalapeños, and sauté for an additional minute.
3. Combine Ingredients: Shred the cooked chicken using two forks. Return it to the pot. Stir in the white beans, chicken broth, diced green chilies, corn, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, covering the pot and letting it simmer for about 10 minutes.
5. Finish with Cream: Remove the lid and stir in the sour cream, mixing until fully combined. Allow it to cook for another 5 minutes to warm through.
6. Top and Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
