White Bean Chicken Chili Recipe
Description
This chili recipe combines raw chicken breast pieces with aromatics like onion, jalapeño, garlic, and fire-roasted green chiles, along with ground cumin and coriander, creating a robust base when cooked in chicken stock for several hours in a crock-pot. Once the chicken is tender, it is shredded and returned to the pot. White beans and frozen corn are stirred in and cooked further to blend flavors and add texture. The final dish is a nourishing stew with a mildly spicy and savory profile, featuring tender chicken and creamy beans. It can be garnished with fresh avocado, cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and hot sauce to add brightness, creaminess, and heat. Serving it with tortilla chips, cornbread, or crackers adds crunch and a contrasting element to the meal.
