Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breasts or chicken tenders I used tenders
- 1 medium onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 6 cups chicken broth divided
- 4 whole roasted green chiles seeds and stems removed, diced (you can substitute with two 4-ounce cans green chile)
- 15 ounce can great Northern beans, drained and rinced
- 1 cup corn I used Trader Joe's roasted frozen corn
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a heavy bottom pot or dutch oven over medium high heat, add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1 medium onion and 1 pound chicken breasts or chicken tenders meat and allow to brown, flipping the chicken just once. You don't need to cook the chicken through, but you want to get a little bit of a sear on it, about 5 minutes per side. Add minced 4 cloves garlic, give everything a stir, and allow to cook for 2-3 more minutes.
- Add 4 cups of the 6 cups chicken broth (reserving the remaining two cups for later) along with the 1 teaspoon cumin and 4 whole roasted green chiles. Allow mixture to come to a boil, and then reduce heat to low. Continue to cook on low uncovered until the liquid reduces by half, about 60-90 minutes. Using two forks, shred the chicken.
- Add 15 ounce can great Northern beans, drained and rinced to the pot and stir. To get a thicker chili, smash about half of the beans with your spoon as you stir. Mixture should be a little thick once the beans suck up the remaining liquid. At this point, add the 1 cup corn and the remaining chicken broth. Stir, add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt to taste, and heat through.
- Serve with avocado and a squeeze of lime.
