Instructions
Creating White Chicken Chili is easy when you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Spices: Stir in the diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth and return the chicken to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
5. Shred the Chicken: After 20 minutes, remove the chicken. Shred it using two forks and return it to the pot.
6. Add Beans and Corn: Stir in the white beans and corn. Allow to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
7. Make it Creamy: Stir in the heavy cream or sour cream until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
