Easy White Chicken Chili
Description
This chili starts by sautéing onion, garlic, and minced jalapeno to build a flavorful base with mild heat. Adding rinsed white beans, diced green chiles, chicken broth, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, and shredded chicken creates a stew-like consistency when simmered. The result is a savory, lightly spiced chili with a creamy texture from the beans and a fresh note from the lime and cilantro.
The use of shredded cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken allows for quicker preparation. Adjusting the broth quantity controls the chili's thickness to suit preference. The dish benefits from a simmer to meld flavors while maintaining the beans and chicken texture.
Serve with optional toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, or avocado slices, to add richness and contrast. This chili can be a main dish on a casual day or a comforting meal on cooler days.
