Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
  3. Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  5. Add chopped green chilies, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pot.
  7. Add the cannellini beans, great northern beans, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  8. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for at least 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  9. Stir in shredded Monterey Jack cheese and chopped cilantro until the cheese is melted.
  10. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  11. Serve hot, with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute other white beans like navy beans or Great Northern beans if cannellini beans are unavailable.
  • For shredded chicken, you can cook the chicken breasts whole in the broth and then shred them before adding the beans.
  • This chili can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors will deepen overnight.
