Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound rotisserie chicken
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or sour cream (optional, for creaminess)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Shred the rotisserie chicken.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened. Then, add the garlic and cook for about a minute.
  3. Add the chicken, green chilies, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if desired), salt and black pepper.
  4. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 20 minutes or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  6. Add the cooked white beans and corn. Simmer for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For a creamier chili, stir in heavy cream or sour cream just before serving.
  7. Serve the chili hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
