Creating this White Chicken Chili is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Spices: Stir in cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional minute to release the flavors.
4. Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the pot. Add the white beans, green chilies, chicken broth, and corn. Stir to combine.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
6. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir well.
7. Add Creaminess: Mix in sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy texture. Stir until well combined.
8. Season to Taste: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
9. Serve Hot: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheese and chopped cilantro.
