Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

- 2 chicken breasts cooked and shredded
- any desired toppings avocado, diced tomato, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cilantro, lime wedges, tortilla chips
Instructions
- In a large pot, sauté onions and garlic in olive oil until softened and translucent, about 7 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Sprinkle flour over veggies and stir. Cook 2 minutes. Raise temperature to medium-medium high. Slowly stream chicken broth into the pot, whisking as you go. Continue stirring until the sauce has boiled and thickened. Reduce heat to low.
- Add in spices, milk, beans, corn, and chicken.
- At this point, the chili is done once everything is warmed through! Do not boil it once the milk has been added.
- Serve with any desired toppings.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- *I use low fat milk to keep this recipe "skinny", but 1/2 cup of half and half or heavy cream is also AMAZING!!
