Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pot and shred the chicken.

  5. Add the Shredded Chicken and Beans: Return the shredded chicken to the pot along with the white beans. Stir everything together.
  6. Simmer: Bring the chili to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  7. Optional Creaminess: For a creamier chili, stir in heavy cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, lime juice, and crumbled cotija cheese. Serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: This chili can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stove or microwave.
  • Customizing the Flavor: For added heat, stir in some diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper. You can also swap the chicken for turkey or ground beef for a different twist.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with tortilla chips, cornbread, or over a bed of rice. Garnish with additional cilantro, lime wedges, and sour cream for extra flavor.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
