Ingredients
- 3 teaspoon avocado oil divided (or use canola oil)
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped into ¾-inch pieces
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ¼ cups frozen corn kernels (no need to defrost)
- 1 (3 oz) can diced green chiles
- 1 chipotle pepper seeded & diced (from can)
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (from chipotle pepper can)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 (14 oz. each) cans White beans drained & rinsed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup minced cilantro
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 2 teaspoons of the canola oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the oregano and cumin, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the garlic and cook for additional 30 seconds.
- Increase the meat to medium-high, then add the chicken breasts pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through.
- Push some of the chicken aside to make a space in the middle, and pour in the remaining 1 teaspoon of canola oil. Add the cornstarch, then stir into the chicken, cooking for 1 minute.
- Add the corn, green chiles, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce and chicken broth, and stir to combine.
- In a medium-sized bowl, smash 1 ½ cups of the white beans with the back of a fork. Add the smashed beans to the chili.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Add the remaining whole beans and the lime juice to the chili. Simmer for additional 10 minutes, or until the chili is thick.
- Adjust seasonings (salt and pepper) as desired. Stir in cilantro. Serve.
