Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth low-sodium
  • 2 15-ounce cans Great Northern Beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 4-ounce can Diced Green Chiles
  • 2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese softened and cubed
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
  • 8 Corn or Flour Tortillas warmed
  • Optional Toppings shredded cheese, cilantro, avocado, jalapeños, sour cream

Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 2 Forks (for shredding)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Place the chicken breasts in the pot and sear for 2-3 minutes per side.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Add the rinsed beans, diced green chiles, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  3. Remove chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Add the cubed cream cheese and stir until it has completely melted and the chili is creamy. Stir in the fresh lime juice.
  4. Warm the tortillas. Spoon a generous amount of the white chicken chili into each tortilla. Add your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
