Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 cup corn
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by measuring them out and having them ready near your cooking area.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine chicken broth, shredded chicken, white beans, diced green chilies, and corn over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle cumin into the mixture and stir thoroughly to distribute the spice evenly throughout the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed during the simmering process.
- Once the chili has simmered and flavors have melded together, remove from heat and stir in sour cream until fully incorporated, creating a creamy texture.
- Let the chili rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to settle and the temperature to become more moderate.
- Serve hot in bowls, optionally garnishing with additional sour cream, chopped cilantro, or shredded cheese if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, measure out all your ingredients before you start cooking. This way, you can focus on the cooking process without interruptions.
- Choose Quality Chicken: For the best flavor, use shredded rotisserie chicken or freshly cooked chicken breast. This will add a rich depth to your chili.
- Adjust the Heat: If you like it spicy, consider adding a diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper to kick up the heat!
- Simmer for Flavor: Allow the chili to simmer longer than the recommended time if you have the luxury; this will deepen the flavors even more.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your presentation by garnishing with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a sprinkle of cheese. It not only looks great but adds extra flavor!
- Leftovers Are Gold: This chili tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a quick and delicious meal later on.
- Serve with Sides: Pair your chili with warm cornbread or tortilla chips for a complete and satisfying meal that everyone will love!
