  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
– 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– ½ teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 8 oz cream cheese
– 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
– Shredded cheese, for topping (optional)


Instructions

Creating your White Chicken Chili with Cream Cheese can be simple and straightforward by following these easy steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the chicken breasts and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and let them simmer for about 15 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the chicken, shred it using two forks, and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add a splash of oil and sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the drained beans, diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth. Mix well.
4. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Add the cream cheese to the pot, stirring until it fully dissolves and integrates into the chili, giving it that creamy consistency.
5. Add Chicken and Corn: Return the shredded chicken and corn to the pot, mixing thoroughly. Allow the chili to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chili and adjust seasonings if necessary. Add more salt or spices according to your preference.
7. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes.
