White Chicken Chili

White Chicken Chili

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cans (14 ounces each) chicken broth (can use low sodium to make it healthier)
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) great northern beans, drained, divided
  • Chopped jalapeno pepper, optional

Directions

  • In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook chicken and onion in oil until lightly browned. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, chilies, cumin, oregano and cayenne; bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low. With a potato masher, mash one can of beans until smooth. Add to saucepan. Add remaining beans to saucepan. Simmer for 20-30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and onion is tender.
  • If you like a creamier chicken chili, stir in plain Greek yogurt a few minutes before serving and heat through.

  • Top each serving jalapeno pepper if desired.

  • Yield: 10 servings (2-1/2 quarts).
