Making White Chicken Chili is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prep Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
3. Add Spices and Chilies: Stir in the diced green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional minute to release the spices’ flavors.
4. Return Chicken to Pot: Shred or cube the previously browned chicken breasts and return them to the pot.
5. Add Broth and Beans: Pour in the chicken broth and add the white beans. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Incorporate Corn: Add the corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking, allowing it to heat through.
8. Stir in Cream: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the heavy cream or sour cream for a creamy texture.
9. Garnish: Serve the chili in bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

With these steps, you’ll have a wonderful bowl of White Chicken Chili ready to be enjoyed with family and friends!
