Description
A creamy, dairy-free optional white chicken chili packed with protein and fiber. Ready in just 30 minutes using rotisserie chicken.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 (15 oz) cans Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 tbsp fresh minced garlic
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 8 oz can diced green chilis (do not drain)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 3/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works best)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- Fresh cilantro and tortilla chips for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 7-8 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and the entire can of green chilis (with liquid). Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring constantly for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
- Pour in the chicken broth, drained beans, and corn. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Remove about 1 to 1.5 cups of the soup mixture (beans and liquid) and blend until completely smooth. Stir this puree back into the pot to thicken the chili.
- Add the shredded chicken and Greek yogurt. Simmer on low heat for 12 minutes to warm everything through.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust salt if needed before serving with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, omit the Greek yogurt and blend a slightly larger portion of the beans to maintain creaminess.
