Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cans (15-ounce each) Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 14 1/2 ounces chicken broth
- 2 cans diced green chiles (4-ounce cans)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic powder, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Main Ingredients: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, Great Northern beans, chicken broth, diced green chiles, and all the spices including salt, oregano, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Simmer the Chili: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken slightly.
- Finish with Cream: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the sour cream and heavy whipping cream until the chili becomes creamy and well combined.
- Serve: Ladle the warm chili into bowls and serve with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese and chopped green onions for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and added flavor.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to control spiciness.
- For a thicker chili, simmer uncovered longer or mash some beans before adding the cream.
- Can be garnished with cheese, green onions, cilantro, or avocado slices.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
