Equipment
- Large pot
- Wooden spoon
- Knife and Cutting Board
- Can opener
- Ladle
- Serving bowls
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cans white beans
- 1 can green chilies
Instructions
- In the same large pot over medium heat, add the diced chicken to the sautéed onions and garlic. Sauté until the chicken is no longer pink and has absorbed the flavors of the onions and garlic, creating a flavorful base for the chili.
- Stir in the white beans and green chilies, then pour in the chicken broth and add the cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
- Add the frozen corn to the pot, followed by the creamy richness of the heavy cream. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated, creating a creamy and hearty texture in the chili.
- Allow the chili to simmer for an additional 10 minutes to let all the flavors harmonize perfectly. This extra simmering time will enhance the overall taste and ensure a well-balanced dish.
- Taste the chili before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed to suit your preferences. This final step ensures that your white chicken chili is perfectly seasoned and tailored to your taste.
- Serve the hot white chicken chili garnished with freshly chopped cilantro to add a burst of freshness and a pop of color. This finishing touch enhances the presentation and flavor profile of the dish.
