Simple White Chicken Chili

Ingredients List

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 5 ¼ cups chicken broth

• 3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

• 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles

• 1 tablespoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 2 pinches cayenne pepper, or to taste

• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

• ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, or to taste

Cooking Instructions

In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken, onion, and garlic, cooking until the chicken is browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.

Move the chicken to a cutting board and chop it into 1-inch pieces.

Return the chicken pieces to the Dutch oven. Add chicken broth, cannellini beans, green chiles, oregano, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 to 40 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.

Place cilantro in four bowls. Pour the chili over the cilantro and top with shredded cheese.

Season with salt before serving.
