Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup cream or sour cream
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cilantro (optional topping)
- Avocado (optional topping)
- Lime (optional topping)
Instructions
- Sauté onions and garlic: In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine ingredients: Stir in the cooked chicken, drained white beans, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
- Simmer the chili: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to bubble away for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add cream or sour cream: Once the chili has simmered, reduce the heat and stir in the cream or sour cream until well incorporated. Let it heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with your choice of optional toppings like fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
Make sure your chicken is fully cooked and shredded beforehand for a quick start. Adjust the seasoning as necessary to suit your taste.
