Creating White Chicken Chili with Spinach is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the pot. Add the white beans, chicken broth, diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Stir to combine.
4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Shred the Chicken: After 20 minutes, remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
6. Add Spinach: Stir in chopped spinach and cook for an additional 5 minutes until wilted.
7. Season: Taste the chili and season with salt and pepper as needed.
8. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and add your choice of toppings.
