Ingredients:

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, 3 medium-large
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon oil, I use avocado oil
  • 3 cups chicken broth, low sodium
  • 2 x 15-ounce cans Great Northern beans or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups of corn
  • 4 ounces of diced green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain or Greek yogurt, fat 2%+1 lime, juice of
  • Tortilla chips, avocado, more yogurt, limes for serving

Instructions:

  • Sauté veggies with spices: Sauté onion and garlic for a few minutes. Then add spices for 30 seconds to allow them to release their flavors. You want to stir at this point constantly to prevent burning.
  • Mash the beans: Mash about 1 cup of white beans with a fork, adding a bit of water if necessary. Beans' starch will thicken the chili as it cooks. I find mashing beans before rather than after cooking much easier. Especially, because there is no blender to wash.
  • Cook the chili, then add chicken, broth, green chilies, and corn, and simmer for 20 minutes. A tight lid on a heavy-bottom pot, or even better, a Dutch oven, cooks chili fast.
  • Shred the chicken: You can do it inside the pot with two forks. I like to use meat claws (also great for chicken salad). Remove the chicken and place it on the cutting board, and then shred.
