Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of cooked chicken, shredded
2 cans (15 oz each) of white beans (Great Northern or Cannellini)
4 cups of chicken broth
1 can (13.5 oz) of coconut milk
1 can (4 oz) of green chilies, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of oregano
1 teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of pepper
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Begin by shredding your cooked chicken. You can use store-bought rotisserie chicken or cooked turkey for convenience. The shreds should be bite-sized for optimal distribution in your chili.
In a large pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, which usually takes about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, filling your kitchen with enticing aromas.
Once the onion and garlic are fragrant, stir in the shredded chicken, drained white beans, green chilies, chicken broth, and coconut milk. These layers will create the creamy texture that makes this chili so special.
Add the ground cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. You can adjust seasoning as you go, tasting for balance. Bring the mixture to a simmer to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. This process usually takes around 10-15 minutes.
Once the chili is thickened and heated through, remove it from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice to elevate the flavors. Serve hot for that perfect comfort-food experience!
Notes
A comforting bowl of creamy white chicken chili that boosts your protein intake while satisfying your cravings on a chilly evening.
