Cooking Steps

• Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by shredding your cooked chicken and chopping your vegetables. Having everything prepped will make cooking more enjoyable!
• Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add Chicken & Beans: Stir in the shredded chicken, cannellini beans, and diced green chilies. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
• Pour in Broth: Add the chicken broth, ensuring everything is well-covered. This will form the base of your chili.
• Season: Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and customize the seasoning to your liking.
• Simmer: Reduce heat and let the chili simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps meld all the flavors beautifully.
• Final Adjustments: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a creamier chili, feel free to add a splash of heavy cream or more sour cream at the end.
• Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls, topping with your choice of garnishes like fresh cilantro, diced avocado, or shredded cheese.
