Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Add chicken pieces, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook, stirring, until chicken is lightly browned.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it gently simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Stir in the rinsed and drained cannellini beans and heavy cream. Heat through, but do not boil.
  6. Stir in fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute shredded rotisserie chicken for the chicken breasts for a quicker preparation.
  • If you prefer a thicker chili, you can mash some of the beans against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
