Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and softened, about 5 minutes.

02

Step
1 mins

Stir in the ground cumin and cook for another minute until fragrant.

03

Step
15 mins

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Add the shredded chicken, Great Northern beans, diced green chiles, dried oregano, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).

04

Step

Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.

For a creamier chili, mash about 1 cup of the cooked white beans before adding them to the pot.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spice level. For a milder chili, omit the cayenne pepper altogether.
Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, crushed tortilla chips, fresh cilantro, or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.
For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
Leftover chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

    I found it a little bland, so I added a pinch of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
