Base Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. neutral oil preferably vegetable or sunflower
  • 1 jalapeño seeded, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into thirds
  • 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 (4.5-oz.) cans green chiles
  • Kosher to taste salt
  • Freshly ground to taste black pepper
  • 2 (15-oz.) cans white beans drained, rinsed
  • 1.5 cups frozen corn

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and jalapeño and cook, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken, broth, and chiles; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and shred with 2 forks.
  • Add beans to pot and bring to a simmer. Cook, smashing about one-quarter of beans with a wooden spoon, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Add corn and shredded chicken and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
  • Ladle chili into bowls. Top with avocado, cilantro, chips, and cheese.

Notes

This chili can be made vegetarian by swapping chicken broth for vegetable broth and adding more beans.
