Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

Creating White Chicken Chili with Cheese can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook Chicken: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the pot and shred the chicken once cooled.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add Spices: Stir in the diced green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken back to the pot along with the white beans, chicken broth, and corn. Stir well to combine.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
6. Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the chili is creamy.
7. Season: Taste and adjust the salt and pepper according to your preference.
8. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeños if desired.
