Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your delightful White Chicken Chili:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the raw chicken breasts and cover them with water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken and let it cool slightly.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add Ingredients: Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot. Add the drained beans, green chilies, cumin, coriander, chili powder, corn, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cooking for about 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
5. Make it Creamy: Stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.
6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm, garnished with your favorite toppings like cilantro, avocado, cheese, and lime wedges.
