A comforting and flavorful white bean chicken chili perfect for a weeknight meal. This recipe is easy to make and can be prepared on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
  2. Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the browned chicken, cannellini beans, and diced green chilies.
  4. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and flavors have melded. For a creamier chili, you can mash some of the beans against the side of the pot.
  5. Stir in shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, combine all ingredients except cheese, sour cream, and cilantro in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Stir in cheese until melted before serving.
  • Consider this recipe as part of your meal planning for a healthy weeknight dinner.
  • Serve with your favorite chili toppings like avocado, lime wedges, or tortilla chips.
