White Bean Chicken Chili: a simple, flavorful chili with chicken, white beans, and a spicy kick—family-friendly and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) chicken broth
  • 1 jar (18.75 ounces) salsa verde
  • 1 can (15.25 ounces) sweet corn, drained
  • 1 can (16 ounces) diced fire-roasted tomatoes, drained
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 can (15 ounces) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely diced (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Stir in the chicken broth, salsa verde, sweet corn, fire-roasted tomatoes, dried oregano, and ground cumin. Stir well to combine.
  • Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and drained white beans. Continue to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken and beans are warmed through.
  • Taste and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with diced jalapeño and chopped fresh cilantro.
