Nothing says winter quite like chili! Try this creamy white bean chicken chili to warm you up.
Ingredients:
// 2 Tbsp. olive oil
// 1 large (11 oz.) yellow onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
// 1 Tbsp. minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
// 1 tsp. dried oregano
// 1 tsp. ground cumin
// 6 cups chicken broth
// 3 (15-oz.) cans great northern beans, drained and rinsed (about 4 cups)
// 2 (4 1/2-oz.) cans chopped green chiles (about 1 cup)
// 2 (14-oz.) bone-in skinless chicken breasts
// 1 cup crushed corn tortilla chips (about 3 oz.), plus more for serving
// Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
// Sour cream
// Chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
1. Cook the onions until tender, then add the garlic, oregano, and cumin.
2. Stir in the chicken broth, beans, and green chiles. Then place the chicken breasts breast side down in the pot. Bring to a boil, covered, over medium-high heat.
3. Remove the lid and continue to simmer uncovered until chicken is tender. Remove the chili from the heat.
4. Transfer about 2 cups of the bean mixture to a blender and add the tortilla chips. Process until smooth.
5. Remove the chicken from the bones; discard the bones. Then, shred the chicken.
6. Add the chicken and bean mixture back to the chili and bring back to a simmer. Cook until the chili has slightly thickened. Ladle into individual bowls, and top with sour cream, cheese, and cilantro before serving.
