Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, adjust to your heat preference)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half (optional, for creaminess)
  • Optional toppings: shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the green chilies, cannellini beans, Great Northern beans, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pot. Stir well.
  6. Nestle the seasoned chicken into the liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  8. Remove the chicken from the pot. Use two forks to shred the chicken. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  9. If using, stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half now. Let it heat through for a few minutes; do not boil after adding cream.
  10. Taste the chili and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  11. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • You can easily substitute the chicken with shredded rotisserie chicken for even faster preparation.
  • For a thicker chili, mash about a quarter cup of the beans against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
  • This chili tastes even better the next day!
