Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 can (15 oz) white beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– ½ teaspoon dried oregano
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Shredded cheese, for serving (optional)
– Lime wedges, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Preparing White Chicken Chili with Cream Cheese is easy if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it cool slightly.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
3. Shred the Chicken: After the chicken has cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
4. Combine Ingredients: Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Add the diced green chilies, white beans, corn, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
5. Simmer the Chili: Bring the chili to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Add Cream Cheese: Cube the softened cream cheese and add it to the pot. Stir until it’s completely melted and incorporated into the chili.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or spices to your liking.
8. Serve Hot: Remove from heat, and your White Chicken Chili with Cream Cheese is ready to serve!
