Creating White Chicken Chili with Wild Rice is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Brown Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned and no longer pink, around 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Spices: Stir in the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute to bloom the spices.
5. Pour in Broth: Add the chicken broth to the pot, scraping any brown bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer.
6. Add Beans and Rice: Stir in the white beans and wild rice. Cover and cook for about 40-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
7. Add Corn and Cream: Stir in the corn and heavy cream or coconut milk. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to heat through.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to your liking.
9. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheese if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
