Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken, 2 cans of white beans (such as cannellini or navy), 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, salt and pepper to taste, and 2 cups of chicken broth.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Once the garlic is fragrant, stir in the cumin and chili powder. Cook for about 30 seconds to toast the spices, enhancing their flavors.
- Next, add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot, stirring to combine it with the onion, garlic, and spices.
- Pour in the drained and rinsed white beans and the can of diced tomatoes (including the juice) into the pot. Stir everything together until well mixed.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Once it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low and let the chili cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- After 20 minutes, taste the chili and season with salt and pepper to your liking. If you prefer a spicier chili, feel free to add additional chili powder or other spices at this stage.
- Once seasoned to your preference, remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the white bean chili hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or fresh cilantro.
- Enjoy your hearty and flavorful Rotisserie Chicken White Bean Chili!
Tips
- • Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor depth • For maximum flavor, toast your spices briefly before adding other ingredients • Don't rush the simmering process - letting the chili cook slowly helps blend the flavors • Feel free to customize your toppings - shredded cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro are excellent additions • If you want a thicker chili, you can mash some of the white beans against the side of the pot • Leftovers taste even better the next day, so don't hesitate to make a larger batch • For added heat, consider adding a diced jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce • This chili freezes beautifully for up to 3 months, making it a perfect make-ahead meal
