Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (4 oz) green chilies, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the shredded chicken, white beans, green chilies, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the pot. Mix well to combine.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the chili to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. After 20 minutes, stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese until well combined and creamy. Heat for another 5 minutes, without boiling, until everything is warmed through.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
